Shreveport resident Shunya Hines allegedly deposited a fraudulent cashier’s check at a local financial institution on Sept. 17. The check, valued at $4,193, was styled in the name of Providence House. Shortly thereafter, the check was returned as fraudulent. Detectives from the Shreveport-Caddo Financial Crimes Task Force conducted an investigation, confirming with Providence House representatives that Hines was never employed by the organization.

As a consequence of the investigation, an arrest warrant was issued on Oct. 31 for Hines for one count of Bank Fraud. Detectives are actively seeking information on her whereabouts. Anyone with information is urged to contact the SPD at 318-673-7300 or Caddo Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373.
