GRAND TERRACE >> Grand Terrace deputies were informed by two separate victims who lived in Grand Terrace that their mailboxes were tampered with and checks allocated for various creditors had been taken. Upon further investigation, the sheriff’s department ascertained that the payees on the stolen checks were changed to a different individual’s name. The alleged individual’s name was Karen Cheek Leeper, 32 of Colton. According to authorities the two checks were cashed at local banks in the area, one for $450 and the other for $485. At one of the banks, Leeper was allegedly identified per video tape as cashing the checks. The San Bernardino District Attorney’s office has the case for review according to the deputies who are investigating the case. The case is still under investigation and if anyone has any further information on this incident, please contact the sheriff’s station at 909-387-3545.
