Authorities have identified Aaron Sutton, 30, of Philadelphia, as the suspect in a check fraud case reported earlier this summer by a resident in the Willow Grove section of Abington Township.
The victim discovered that a check he had originally written to PNC Bank for $102 on July 30 was altered and cashed for $1,798. The check appeared to be made out to “Keimoy R. Joseph,” a name unfamiliar to the victim, who did not authorize any changes.
Surveillance footage from the PNC Bank branch at 4111 Concord Pike, Wilmington, Del., showed a man entering the bank at 5:01 p.m. wearing a black Balenciaga hoodie. The individual presented a driver’s license in the name Keimoy R. Joseph and forged that name on the back of the check. He left the bank at 5:05 p.m. with the cash.
Investigators later identified the suspect as Sutton by comparing surveillance footage to previous booking photos. Sutton’s PA driver’s license, used in a subsequent arrest on Sept. 15, 2025, initially identified him as Keimoy R. Joseph. Investigators also matched a distinct tattoo on the side of his right hand visible in both the bank footage and his booking photos.
Police continue to investigate, and no further information about charges or court proceedings has been released.
Sutton is facing a felony charge and will have a preliminary hearing on Oct. 23, 2025, at 1:15 p.m., before Judge John D. Kessler.
Sutton was unable to post bail, which was set at $1,000.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
