Check that cheque!
Ohakune police report a spate of 'bouncing cheques' and warn people — particularly shopkeepers — to tighten up on their identification procedures when presented with cheques from strangers. Constable Marty
Sutherland said that no fewer than twelve cheques had 'bounced' within a 2-day period last week . . . "and we, are expecting more since a cheque book has been reported stolen." He said that local people
have become very trusting and lax about identity checks when accepting cheques from strangers and advises shopkeepers in particular not to do so unless. they are "one hundred percent" sure of their customer's identity.
