Greenwich Man Accused Of Bank Fraud In Westport: Police

WESTPORT, CT — A 27-year-old Greenwich man was arrested on a warrant by Westport police on April 3 in connection with a bank fraud case in Westport, according to authorities.

Alexis Antuna was charged with third-degree larceny, and criminal attempt at third-degree larceny, in relation to an incident in February at First County Bank.

"They reported that a fraudulent check had been deposited into an account at their Fairfield branch and then funds were withdrawn from the Westport branch days later," wrote Westport Police Lt.

Through the use of surveillance footage and law enforcement sharing, a suspect was identified."

That suspect was Antuna, who was taken into custody by Fairfield police and turned over to Westport police on the 3rd.

Antuna was released after posting a $15,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on April 30.
