A Cranberry Township building company lost more than $37,000 after eight fraudulent checks bearing its name were cashed by several individuals, according to charges filed last week.

Investigators said the fraudulent transactions took place in 2022 and were connected to the bank account of PF Cook Brick Company.

Additionally, Monique E. Truesdale, 21, of Charlotte, N.C., was charged with two counts of misdemeanor access device fraud.

According to documents filed May 16, the defendants made thousand-dollar purchases following the alleged fraudulent activity.
