After a month-long investigation by Hillsboro Police, 34-year-old Kristofer Carl Jensenwas indicted on 20 counts of ID theft, aggravated theft, possession of a forged instrument, possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), and possession of a forgery device, authorities said.

The indictment stemmed from a fraud call on February 7, 2008 at the First Tech Credit Union, located on Cornell Road in Hillsboro. Bank employees were alerted to Jensen's activities because he had been unsuccessful in making bogus withdrawals at other First Tech Credit Unions, according to police.

Authorities said Jensen fled the bank before being able to carry out his planned fraud crime.

During that incident and the prior attempted crimes, bank employees were able to provide officers a good description of Jensen and his vehicle.

Later, a Hillsboro Police Officer spotted the suspect vehicle in a nearby hotel parking lot and officers served a search warrant on the hotel room. Officers found counterfeit IDs, computers, printers, stolen mail and personal profiles of victims.

Jensen was lodged in the Washington County Jail.
