CHICAGO — FBI officials are asking Chicagoans to help them find five men they suspect were behind a counterfeit ticket scheme, according to a Monday news release.

Of 16 people charged with felony forgery for allegedly participating in a "wide-ranging ticket scheme," officials said, only 11 have been arrested, and the rest are still at large.

Authorities allege that the men doctored and printed tickets for Chicago Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks games, plus WWE Extreme Wrestling and Disney on Ice events.

FBI officials said they're searching for the following five men:

• Rashawn Mays, 30 of the 200 block of West Pershing Road

• Lamont Flowers, 30 of the 3800 block of South Wells Street

• Joseph McKnight, 27, of the 0-100 block of East 59th Street

• Rodney Pole, 25, of the 7100 block of South Francisco Avenue

• Marcus Moore, 19, of the 10600 block of South Champlain Avenue

All five men should be considered "armed and dangerous," the release said.

Anyone with information on the suspects is encouraged to call the Chicago branch of the FBI at 312-421-6700.
