https://qa.thenewsjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Police-teaser.jpg397265 Laurel County Sheriff’s deputies are searching for four suspects in connection with the theft of more than $15,000 from a local church’s checking account. According to Sheriff John Root, the suspects are identified as 60-year-old David Hosey of Lexington, 50-year-old Leo Hull of Lexington, 47-year-old Mitchell Followell of Harrodsburg and 22-year-old Benjamin Knight of Dry Ridge. Root stated that between March 3 and March 7, the four individuals allegedly attempted to cash counterfeit checks on the church’s account. “An alert bank employee at 1st National Bank of London intercepted a large check before it was cashed, resulting in an investigation by the Laurel County Sheriff’s office,” Root stated adding that the suspects had previously withdrawn $15,327 from the account. Each of the suspects faces charges of theft by deception, theft of identity of another without consent, first-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, first-degree forgery and engaging in organized crime. Anyone with any information on the suspects is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at (606) 864-6600. Callers may remain anonymous.
