Authorities are investigating the theft of paychecks intended for workers at Rivers Casino and displays, according to the Daily Herald.
More than a dozen checks were stolen between December 12 and the 23 after being mailed to employees. They were worth between $300 and $1600 each. The names and amounts on the checks were changed and then the checks were cashed at currency exchanges and other businesses in Chicago.
The fraud was discovered by Rivers payroll department and reported to casino security.
A spokesman says all those affected will get the pay they're due.
