2 People Accused Of Identity Theft Scheme In Greenwich: Police

GREENWICH, CT — Two people were arrested last weekend in Greenwich after police said they were involved in an identity theft scheme at a local bank.

Shane Salmon, 47, of Brooklyn, N.Y., is facing several conspiracy charges along with second-degree forgery, his arrest report shows.

Keisha Simmonds, 36, also of Brooklyn, was charged with conspiracy as well as third-degree identity theft, criminal impersonation and second-degree forgery, according to her arrest report.

On Sept. 16 just before 12:30 p.m., Greenwich plainclothes officers noticed "suspicious activity" at a bank within the central Greenwich business district, an arrest report said.

The reports associated with the arrests indicate the incident occurred on East Putnam Avenue.

Officers were able to detain and later identify two people as Salmon and Simmonds.

An investigation found that the two conspired with each other and criminally impersonated a victim using a counterfeit New York driver's license that featured the victim's personal identifiable information in an attempt to get a debit card with the victim's banking information, police said.

Police noted that Salmon gave officers a fake New Jersey driver's license when he was stopped

A search of Simmonds' vehicle found additional documents bearing the victim's information, police said.

Salmon was able to post a $20,000 bond, and Simmonds posted a $2,000 bond.

The two are scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Oct. 2.
