A traffic stop in Georgetown led to the arrest of two women suspected in a counterfeit theft ring.

Police say the group has cashed forged checks totaling more than $50,000 all across central Kentucky. They have cashed counterfeit checks at banks in Lexington, Georgetown, Mt. Sterling, Nicholasville, Somerset and Winchester.

Georgetown police stopped a car Monday night and arrested two woman who investigators believe are key players in the ring.

Police arrested Alexis Ramos and Vanessa Regalado. Ramos was using the alias Marquita Riddle and Regalado was going by Michelle Brown.

Police continue to search for a woman going by the name Sade Easley and another going by Tiffany Scott. Investigators say the names the suspects are using may be identity theft victims from Illinois.

Officials say the case is far from closed, and that it may extend to additional states and involve more suspects.
