WESTPORT — A New York woman, caught in the act allegedly trying to make a fraudulent withdrawal at a Wilton bank, has been charged with carrying out a similar scheme in Westport.
Trudi Reppi, 46, of New York City, N.Y., was charged March 3 with fourth-degree larceny, third-degree identity theft and conspiracy.
Her arrest came after Westport police detectives were alerted by Wilton authorities that Reppi was detained in that town for allegedly attempting to fraudulently withdraw money from a local Webster Bank, according to the report.
While being interrogated by Wilton police, Reppi allegedly admitted she previously withdrew money fraudulently from a Webster Bank office in Westport, police said.
Police investigating the report said that, using video surveillance, they were able to confirm that Reppi illegally made the bank withdrawal in Westport.
A warrant for Reppi’s arrest was subsequently issued, and she was charged March 3 while appearing in another case at state Superior Court in Stamford.
Her bond on the Westport charges was set at $50,000.
