A second person is under arrest after Thomaston Police’s investigation from a fraud case on June 18 uncovered multiple cases of fraud.
Police say they received reports earlier this year from Thomaston Savings Bank Fraud Department and, with assistance from the Watertown Police Department, IRS and U.S. Treasury Department, an elaborate scam was uncovered.
They say a 31-year-old woman has been arrested in connection to several forgeries, identity thefts and impersonations from earlier this year.
She has been charged with 1st-degree larceny, 1st-degree identity theft, 1st-degree forgery, criminal impersonation, fraudulent use of an automated teller, false statement to procure issuance of payment card and illegal use of payment card of the CT General Statute. She was released on a $100,000 surety bond and will appear in court next month.
A 25-year-old male was also arrested on September 9 as a co-conspirator to the fraud and charged with 1st-degree larceny, 1st-degree conspiracy to commit larceny, trafficking personal identifying information, 1st-degree identity theft, 1st-degree forgery and false statement to procure issuance of payment card of the CT General Statutes.
