Katie Ricker, a 22-year-old woman from Littleton, New Hampshire, has been caught red-handed in a shocking bank fraud scheme that left her former employer out $46,055.35.
According to court documents and statements made in court, between 2018 and October 2021, Ricker was employed in various positions by a company in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire. In or about October 2021, Ricker stole blank checks belonging to the company. She wrote fraudulent checks addressed to herself, her co-defendant William Hill, and others to transfer funds from the company’s account to her joint bank account with Hill.
Ricker forged the signature of the employee authorized to sign on the company’s account. The defendants were caught on camera cashing some of the fraudulent checks. In total, Ricker stole $46,055.35 from the company.
The FBI investigated the case, with assistance from the Sugar Hill Police Department and Lisbon Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander S. Chen.
Ricker is scheduled to be sentenced on December 29, 2022. Her co-defendant, William Hill, pled guilty on June 27, 2022. This is a stark reminder that bank fraud is a serious crime that can have severe consequences.
