BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- A Georgia man pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and aggravated identity theft after he and multiple co-conspirators allegedly traveled to Western New York to steal from businesses, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced. According to officials, 38-year-old Quentavious Price conspired with Lorenzo Jones, Ameer Clark, Montez White and others to steal checks from WNY businesses between January and September 2022. The businesses were based in Elma, Tonawanda, Clarence, Sanborn, and Alden. They would then allegedly create fraudulent checks drawn on the bank accounts of the businesses. The conspirators would buy clothes for individuals to make them look like laborers and then drive them to financial institutions to cash the checks, officials said. They were then given a small portion of the profit for their service. The loss amount totaled $64,979.67. Price faces a minimum of two years in prison, a maximum of 30 years and a fine of $1 million if convicted. Charges remain pending against Jones, Clark and White. Sentencing has yet to be scheduled.
