FUGITIVES WANTED IN SNOHOMISH COUNTY and REDMOND -- Detectives in Snohomish County and Redmond need your help taking down a fraud ring accused of stealing checks from a condo's business office, then cashing them at several Safeway stores. Detectives think it started when convicted felons, Jumanee Jones and Amy Manus, broke into the 55-and-over condo complex through its secure parking garage. Detectives say they got into the office and broke into a locked cabinet where the checks were stored. They're both wanted in Redmond where other items they're accused of stealing from the condo complex were found in a Manus' car. Police didn't find the checks though, because detectives say they handed them off to an unidentified woman who went on a shopping spree at several Safeway and Fred Meyer stores -- racking-up thousands of dollars’ worth of groceries and goods. Jumanee Jones is a six-time felon who's been arrested more than 60 times. Amy Manus is a two-time felon who's been busted for burglary and identity theft before.
