Lynchburg Police Investigate Bank Fraud Incidents
Lynchburg, Va. – The Lynchburg Police Department is investigating two related incidents of fraud that occurred at separate Truist Bank locations in the City of Lynchburg on Wednesday, May 15, 2025.
At approximately 10:45 a.m., an unidentified male entered the Truist Bank located at 4710 Boonsboro Road and attempted to withdraw funds using a South Carolina identification card bearing the name “Peter Brazy.” Bank staff questioned the suspect after noticing the identification did not match his appearance. The male quickly left the premises on foot before any transaction was completed.
Shortly thereafter, around 11:30 a.m., a second unidentified male entered the Truist Bank at 2120 Langhorne Road. This suspect presented the same South Carolina ID and successfully withdrew a large sum of money from the victim’s account. Before exiting, he returned to the teller counter and withdrew an additional large sum of money.
Both suspects arrived at the bank locations on foot. At this time, no vehicle information is available.
Surveillance images of the suspects are attached to this release. Detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals involved in these cases.
