The individual who did this, stole several checks from my home, they wrote them out to several people and cashed them at local branches of my bank. The amount came to be over 7,000 dollers. I made a police report and made a report with the bank, now i want to press charges what do i do? I also want to get my money back and the bank says "they are still investagating the issue" the bank gave me copys of the checks and they were made out to several diffrent people and two of them actually work for me. It seems as though i have all their infomation now i want to have them aressted and charged with this crime. what do i do? what kind of crime is this? is it a felony?

You need to contact the police again and then contact the local district attorney. In most states this would be considered a felony forgery charge.

If you made reports with the police and bank, you should be fine.
Most businesses have cameras, it is very likely most, or all, of the checks cashed were on video. It will only be a matter of time.
Once the bank confirms with the police the checks were forged, you should get the money credited back to your account. The victims will actually be the businesses and banks that cashed the checks, so they will cooerate with the investigation.

I believe a felony is a $1000.oo or more. You need to let the bank and the police do there job first. I think you have gone as far as you can for now.

You report crimes to the police. Since it is not an emergency you call the non-emergency number.
If it is a felony or not will depend on the state you live in. I would think that $7,000 is likely to be a felony.

Tell the police that you wish to press charges against the individuals, and yes it is a felony, check fraud and punishable by many years in prison.

Recontact the police department, speak to a detective. Inform him/her that you want to press charges. You'll be asked to sign a warrant for the arrest of the person. Then it will be up to the court to prosecute.
As for getting your money back, you'll probably have to sue the companies/individuals that accepted the forged instruments.
