2 Men Accused Of Forgery At Greenwich Bank: Police

GREENWICH, CT — Two men were arrested on Oct. 8 after police said they tried to complete a fraudulent transaction at a Greenwich Avenue bank.

Terell Montgomery, 23, of New Windsor,N.Y., was charged with third-degree forgery and a series of conspiracy charges, according to an arrest report.

Jose Dejesus, 42, of Bridgeport, was also charged with third-degree forgery along with second-degree forgery, criminal impersonation and several conspiracy charges.

On Oct. 8 around 11:15 a.m., several Greenwich police officers were called to a bank within the central Greenwich business district on a report of a fraudulent transaction in process, police said. Bike patrol and plainclothes officers working in the area were able to detail Montgomery and his co-conspirator, Dejesus.

Police said an investigation showed that both men "conspired to criminally impersonate" a victim using a fake Visa credit card and New Jersey driver's license in an attempt to open a business account in the victim's name.

Police noted that a search of a car used by Montgomery and Dejesus found five altered money orders/checks.

Montgomery was able to post a $7,000 bond, and Dejesus posted a $2,000 bond, arrest reports show.

Both men are scheduled to appear in court Oct. 21.
