Cabrera
WHITE PLAINS – A Bronx man was indicted by a Westchester County grand jury on 14 counts for identity theft, criminal possession of forged instruments and related charges for four incidents in March.
Jose Cabrera, 55, is alleged to have presented himself as the victim at various bank branches throughout Westchester County to access their checking accounts.
Prosecutors allege that on four separate incidents on the same day, March 30, Cabrera went to People’s United Bank branches with a forged Connecticut driver’s license that included his photo, but with identifying information of another man, the victim.
At branches in Mount Vernon, Yonkers, Ossining and Thornwood, Cabrera tried to access the same victim’s accounts. He was arrested on his fourth attempt. He was sent to the Westchester County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash bail or bond.
