WESTPORT — A 27-year-old man is charged with depositing a fraudulent check at a regional bank’s Fairfield office and then illegally withdrawing the money from the bank’s Westport office, according to police.

Alexis Antuna, of Greenwich, was charged April 3 with third-degree larceny and criminal attempt to commit third-degree larceny.

A complaint by First County Bank officials was filed with police Feb. 29, alleging that several days after a fraudulent check had been deposited at their Fairfield office, the funds illegally were withdrawn at the Westport office.

The bank subsequently was unable to recover the money, police were told.

Using recordings of video surveillance and information shared with other law-enforcement agencies, Westport police were able to identify Alexis Antuna as the person responsible for the theft, according to the report.

A warrant for Antuna’s arrest was issued, and he was taken into custody April 3 at Fairfield Police Department headquarters, where he was being held.

Antuna was formally charged at Westport Police Department headquarters, and released after posting $15,000 bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned April 30 at state Superior Court in Stamford.
