GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. – A former employee of Fifth Third Bank in Gwinnett County is facing multiple charges for allegedly orchestrating a fraud scheme that cost the bank more than $2.6 million.
In October 2024, an employee at the Fifth Third Bank branch on Holcomb Bridge Road alerted authorities, reporting that 33-year-old Fedrick Jeffries had been stealing money and opening fraudulent accounts. Following the tip, investigators launched an inquiry into Jeffries’ activities.
Authorities determined that between May and October 2024, Jeffries opened five checking accounts and took out an unsecured loan worth $24,500. Investigators allege that he deposited forged and stolen checks into these accounts. Additionally, other suspects reportedly visited the bank while Jeffries was on duty, providing stolen identity information to help create fraudulent accounts, which were then accessed online by the conspirators.
Further investigation revealed that another Fifth Third Bank employee was involved in a similar fraudulent scheme in West Palm Beach, Florida. Together, Jeffries and the second suspect allegedly stole a total of $2,636,019.06 from the bank.
Jeffries has been charged with seven counts of identity theft, five counts of computer forgery, and one count of theft by taking. He was arrested and booked into the Gwinnett County Jail but was released hours later on a $52,650 bond.
The case remains under investigation as authorities work to identify and apprehend additional suspects. Investigators have not yet disclosed the identities of others believed to be involved or provided details on the victims of the alleged scheme.
