2 BMWs Stolen With Fake Maryland Driver's License

GREENBURGH, NY — A Bronx resident was arraigned Tuesday on a 19-count indictment related to the theft of two luxury cars. Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. said Anthony Williams, 29, of the Bronx, was charged with the following:

• Two counts of second-degree grand larceny, felonies
• Two counts of first-degree identity theft, felonies
• Three counts of second-degree forgery, felonies
• Three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, felonies

Police said he was able to fraudulently buy the vehicles on two separate dates at the dealership by producing a forged Maryland driver’s license in the name of the attorney.

Williams was arrested May 8, 2017, in Brooklyn in possession of one of the vehicles by detectives in the Greenburgh Police Department.
