N.Y. Man Got $53K Check From Feasterville Bank With False ID: Police

LOWER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA —A man from New York State has been charged with forgery and other offenses after he used fake identification at a Feasterville bank to withdraw cash and then obtained a $53,000 bank check, authorities said.

Lower Southampton Township Police said that on Jan. 30, Dennis J. Swint, 56, of Schoharie, N.Y., went to the Santander Bank in Feasterville with fake identification in a victim's name and made a $5,000 cash withdrawal.

He then obtained a $53,000 bank loan, police said.

Police said Swint also had the victim's account information displayed on a banking application, which was on his cell phone that helped authenticate the account and mislead the bank teller, allowing the transactions to go through.

The victim in this case received an alert of the transactions within their account and immediately contacted the bank who was able to stop payment of the check, police said.

Swint was also arrested in Westampton, N.J., while committing a similar bank account takeover and he was positively identified and remanded to the Burlington N.J. County Correctional Facility.

Swint was positively identified as committing this bank account takeover and Lower Southampton detectives issued a warrant for his arrest on the charges of forgery, identity theft, theft, receiving stolen property, and criminal use of a communication device, all felony offenses.
