After a $65 check written in March to a recycling company was altered and deposited into an unknown bank account for $10,000, leaders at Temple Beth El knew something was awry.

The check was likely stolen from the congregation mail box "and either ‘washed’ or reprinted," city police said in a report made public this week.

The check was addressed to Lianibet Castillo, 22, who told police an unidentified "friend" had given it to her and that she had deposited it even though she knew it likely was fraudulent.

"A normal person would never just give a check for $10,000," Castillo told city police, according to the report.

City police arrested Castillo, who lives in suburban Greenacres, on Monday on charges of larceny and passing a forged check. She was released eaerly Tuesday from the Palm Beach County Jail on $6,000 bond.

Photos taken by surveillance cameras at a CitiBank ATM on March 14, along with Castillo’s drivers license, identified her as the source of the deposit.

Leaders at Temple Beth El, a conservative synagogue on Flagler Drive, had written the $65 check to Waste Pro. Castillo said the friend had given her the check to deposit, already made out for $10,000, and that she could keep $2,000, according to the report.

Despite her fears the check was fraudulent, Castillo said she went through with depositing it because she needed the money to pay her bills and help her mother. She told police she did not withdraw any of the funds and called the bank to close her account because she became scared afterward, according to the police report.

A hearing is scheduled for June 15, where the state is expected to file charges against Castillo.
