WESTPORT — A second person has been arrested in connection with defrauding a local bank of almost $20,000, police said.

Alixandria Lauture, 26, of Stamford, was charged second-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit second-degree larceny.

Alexis Antuna, a 27-year-old Greenwich resident, was charged April 3 for conspiring with Lauture to carry out the crime, according to police.

The arrests follow a police investigation into a complaint filed Feb. 29 by First County Bank officials that a fraudulent check for more than $19,800 had been deposited at their Fairfield branch and, a few days later, the money was withdrawn at the bank’s Westport office.

As was the case in charging Antuna for his role in the theft, investigators used video-surveillance recordings as well as information shared with other law-enforcement agencies to identify Lauture as a second suspect in the crime, according to the report.

Lauture was taken into custody April 12 at Fairfield Police Department headquarters where she was being held. She was transported to Westport Police Department headquarters, where she was formally charged and later released after posting $25,000 bond.

She is scheduled to be arraigned May 6 at state Superior Court in Stamford.
