Larceny By Check

The crime of Larceny by Check involves obtaining goods or services by writing a check with the knowledge of insufficient funds and with the intent to defraud.

In order to be convicted of the crime of Larceny by Check, the prosecutor must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt:
  1. That the defendant wrote, cashed or passed a drawn check upon a bank account;
  2. That by doing so the defendant obtained money, property or services;
  3. That when the defendant wrote, cashed or passed the check, he/she knew that there were insufficient funds or credit at the bank on which the check was drawn; and
  4. That the defendant did so with the intent to defraud the bank who received the check.
Additionally, failure to make good on a check within 2 days after being notified that it bounces may be proof that, at the time the defendant originally wrote the check, he/she knew that there were insufficient funds to cover; and that the check was written with the intent to defraud.
