A woman who tried to fraudulently cash two checks through a drive-up teller window at People’s United Bank last week drove off when bank employees became suspicious and asked her to come into the bank, police said. Police gave this description of what happened:

At about 11:24 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 10, the woman drove up to the teller window at the bank, located at 72 Edgerton St., and tried to cash two checks, each one made out to about $1,000. Both checks were made out to the same person and the woman gave the teller a debit card and driver’s license with that name. For some reason not mentioned by police, the teller and other bank employees became suspicious about the transaction, which ultimately led to the woman driving off.
