Federal prosecutors have accused six people of trying to steal more than $5 million from Twin Cities banks and credit unions.<\/p>\n

A grand jury indicted Willie Roy Turner Jr., Marc Anderson, Billy Ray Cameron Jr., Devontay Colbert, Dontae Williams and Takiya Shemwell,\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0KIMT, citing U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the group tried to deposit stolen business checks worth more than $5.1 million and took more than $1.5 million.<\/p>\n

Five of them allegedly opened fake or unauthorized accounts in the names of those businesses, used fake IDs and deposited checks stolen from the mail.<\/p>\n

Shemwell worked for the U.S. Postal Service in Chicago. Prosecutors say she stole the checks and sold them to Turner Jr. and Cameron Jr.<\/p>\n

The counts include conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit mail fraud. The mix varies by defendant.<\/p>\n
