GREENWICH, CT — A New York man accused of using a fake identity to have packages sent to him was arrested Thursday by Greenwich Police on identity theft, forgery and other charges, police said. According to an arrest report, 39-year-old Wai Chung Khoong of Brooklyn, N.Y., was picked up by Greenwich Police at the Westchester County Jail on an active warrant Thursday.
