MARS — Police are seeking a borough man suspected of forging bogus checks worth more than $10,000.

District Judge Wayne Seibel on Friday issued an arrest warrant for 39-year-old Scott P. Jones on felony charges of forgery.

Mars police allege that Jones between June 17 and 25 forged and deposited three checks into his account at Mars National Bank. Investigators later discovered that all of the checks were phony, court documents said.

In all, the checks totaled $10,571,42.

The bank, in a certified letter sent to the defendant in July, reported that his account balance was $1,513.53, documents said.

Police said Jones did not respond to the letter or to investigators’ telephone calls.
