WESTPORT — A 25-year-old New York man is accused of collaborating in a scheme to illegally withdraw $50,000 from a resident’s bank account.

Anthony Muniz, of Bronx, N.Y., was charged with first-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit first-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit second-degree identity theft.

A complaint was filed with police last Dec. 24 that $50,000 had been illegally withdrawn from a resident’s bank account.

The police detective investigating the complaint determined that Muniz — identified via the bank’s video surveillance — and an unidentified accomplice, impersonating the Westport resident, had gone to a Chase Bank office in Brooklyn, N.Y., to carry out a plan linking Muniz’s bank account to the complainant’s, according to the report.

Muniz’s accomplice presented the bank with a fake driver’s license in the resident’s name, police said, prompting bank officials to approve the fraudulent arrangement.

Once the accounts were linked, police said, Muniz and his accomplice had the bank transfer $50,000 from the resident’s account into the shared account.

Muniz then withdraw $21,000, which triggered Chase to issue a fraud alert to the resident, who asked that the account be frozen, police said. That action blocked any additional fraudulent withdrawals.

A warrant was issued for the arrest of Muniz, and he turned himself in March 12 at Police Department headquarters.

He was released after posting $75,000 bond, and is scheduled to arraigned on the charges March 21 at state Superior Court in Stamford.
