Mount Vernon Woman Accused Of Bank ID Theft Attempt

YORKTOWN, NY — A 46-year-old Mount Vernon woman faces felony charges in Yorktown after being arrested at the Chase Bank on Lee Boulevard Wednesday.

Police said they were called to the bank for a reported ID theft in progress. Bank personnel told the responding officers that a woman was trying to get a temporary ATM card for an account they believed belonged to another person, right after they had been warned about a similar incident at another branch.

She had a forged Connecticut drivers license, police alleged.

Shaunta Dias was charged with identity theft, grand larceny and possession of a forged instrument. She was sent to Westchester County Jail on $1,500 cash bail, $2,500 bond. She is due back in Yorktown town court Oct. 2.
