A man in Florida reportedly purchased a brand new Porsche car with a cheque he printed on a home computer — and then decided to spent some on watches.

Casey William Kelley, 42, cashed in the nearly $140,000 (about N53.9 million) check at a local car dealership on Tuesday but was taken into custody one day later when he attempted to buy several Rolex watches at a jeweler in Miramar Beach with more bogus checks, according to the Palm Beach Post.

He was subsequently arrested for grand theft of a motor vehicle and uttering a false bank note.

After selling the car, a Porsche 911 Turbo, the dealership unsuccessfully tried to cash Kelley’s check and then reported the vehicle as stolen.

The jeweler, however, opted to keep both the cheque and the watches until the money cleared.

When the cheque came back as false, the cashier reported the crime to police — though Kelley was already in custody.

He later admitted to authorities that he had printed the cheques at home, police said.
