In May 2016, a man dropped by Chase Bank Branches in Eugene and Springfield on several occasions and fraudulently withdrew funds totaling about $35,000 from a victim’s account. The victim does not know the suspect.
Photos of the man at the bank are attached. The arm sling may just be a prop since he is pictured without it in other surveillance photos.
If you have any relevant information or tips in this case, please contact Detective Patrick Willis at 541.682.6235.
