Man Charged With Forgery, Identity Theft: Greenwich Police

GREENWICH, CT — A 23-year-old man was arrested last week after police said he tried making a fraudulent transaction at a Greenwich bank.

On March 2 around 1:45 p.m., police were called to a bank on Greenwich Avenue on a report of a fraudulent transaction in progress, police said.

Bike patrol officers and plain clothes officers working in the area detained a suspect, later identified as Babajide Julius, of the Bronx, N.Y., his arrest report said.

According to the arrest report, an investigation found that Julius used a fake state of Texas driver's license and a fake American Express card, which contained personal information of a victim, to try and open a checking account in the victim's name.

Julius was arrested and charged with third-degree identity theft, criminal impersonation, second-degree forgery and third-degree forgery, according to his arrest report.

Julius was able to post 10 percent of a $10,000 bond, and was released. He's scheduled to appear at Stamford Superior Court on March 16.
