Police Hunting for Woman Who Allegedly Deposited $185,000 in Fraudulent Checks Before Going on the Run

Police in Louisiana are searching for a woman who allegedly deposited hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fraudulent checks into her account before going on the run.

The Shreveport Police Department says it’s looking for Tashiuntay Miles, a suspect involved in two separate bank fraud incidents stemming from her alleged deposits of fraudulent checks worth a total of $185,000 into her personal bank account.

“According to detectives, Miles is accused of depositing a fraudulent check in the amount of $70,000 into her personal account. In a separate incident, she allegedly deposited another fraudulent check totaling $115,000.

As a result of the investigation, Miles is now wanted on two counts of bank fraud. Detectives are actively working to locate her and encourage anyone with information on her whereabouts to come forward.”

According to a previous press release by the police, an arrest warrant for Miles was first issued in February after a weeks-long investigation found that she deposited a fraudulent check worth over $60,000 on August 29th, 2024, at a Carter Federal Credit Union ATM and withdrew the cash about a week later.

Authorities found that Miles did not have the proper authorization for the check, which was also found to be manufactured to include Miles’ personal address and signature. To confirm her identity, police cross-referenced her photo ID and surveillance footage.
