Trio Faces Series Of Forgery, Identity Theft Charges: Greenwich Police

GREENWICH, CT — Three people face a series of forgery and identity theft charges after police said they tried to conduct a fraudulent transaction at a downtown Greenwich bank, police said.

On Jan. 4 shortly before 3 p.m., Greenwich police officers were called to a bank in the central Greenwich business district on a report of a fraudulent transaction in progress.

Bike patrol and plainclothes officers working in the area detained and positively identified the three people involved, police said in an arrest report.

An investigation showed that Dylan Muldowney, 19, of Landsdowne, Pa., along with Anas Abdul-Malik and Keyana Turenne, both 22 and of Brooklyn, N.Y., conspired together to try and open up a business account in a victim's name through a fraudulent New Jersey driver's license and Spectrum bill, which also had the victim's name on it, police said.

While on scene, Muldowney gave officers a counterfeit New Jersey driver's license and impersonated another victim, police said, noting they were able to confirm Muldowney "attempted the same style of fraud no less than an hour ago at a bank in Stamford."

Police searched Abdul-Malik's car and found four additional fraudulent driver's licenses with various victims' names and Turenne's face, according to arrest reports.

Muldowney was charged with second and third-degree forgery; interfering with an officer; criminal impersonation and multiple conspiracy charges, his arrest report shows. He was unable to post a $50,000 bond.

Abdul-Malik was charged with five various conspiracy charges related to forgery, identity theft and criminal impersonation, his arrest report states. He posted a $20,000 bond.

Turenne was charged with second and third-degree forgery; third-degree identity theft; criminal impersonation and several conspiracy charges. She posted a $1,000 bond, police said.

All three are scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Jan. 18.
