3 Charged In Forgery Scheme At Greenwich Bank: Police

GREENWICH, CT — Three people were arrested last week after police said they tried to fraudulently obtain account balances and a debit card from a Greenwich bank.

Janine Jukic, 49, of Nyack, N.Y., was charged with second-degree identity theft; criminal impersonation; second and third-degree forgery; and various conspiracy charges, according to her arrest report.

Aaliyah Flippen, 24, of Stony Point, N.Y., was charged with second-degree forgery and multiple conspiracy charges, and Khristopher Crayton, 36, of Amityville, N.Y., was also charged with multiple conspiracy charges, arrest reports show.

On March 7 at 2:45 p.m., on Greenwich Avenue, plainclothes Greenwich police officers working in the central Greenwich business district noticed "suspicious activity" at a local bank, police said, adding that officers were able to detain and identify the arrestees.

An investigation found that the three arrestees conspired to use a fake New Jersey license that featured Jukic's photo and a fake credit/debit card with someone else's information to impersonate them, obtain account balances, and receive a debit card associated with the bank, police said.

A search of Flippen found a fake North Carolina license with her photo and the personal identifying information of someone else, police said.

Additionally, a search of Crayton's car found three checks with different recipient and remitter names, police said, noting they also found Crayton in possession of $5,269 in cash.

Jukic, Flippen and Crayton were able to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 and $20,000 respectively, their arrest reports note.

The three are scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on March 22.
