WESTPORT — A 32-year-old man has been charged in connection with a fraudulent check scheme that also resulted in the arrest of a Bridgeport woman in April.

Rahkim Tucker, of Bridgeport, was charged June 22 with third-degree forgery, conspiracy to commit fourth-degree larceny, criminal attempt at fourth-degree larceny and criminal simulation.

Tucker was implicated in the scheme, police said, after an investigation into an April 28 incident at Westport National Bank on Post Road East, where a woman was trying to cash what a teller believed was a fraudulent $1,250 check made out to her by a Bridgeport business.

After investigating the bank’s suspicions, police charged Julia Harris, 26, of Bridgeport, with fourth-degree conspiracy to commit larceny and fourth-degree criminal attempt to commit larceny.

During that investigation, police seized Harris’s phone and, according to the report, found evidence on the device indicating that Tucker also was involved in the scheme.

After gathering additional evidence that police said linked Tucker to the incident, a warrant for his arrest was issued.

Tucker was taken into custody June 22 by Westport police detectives and held on $50,000 bond. He was taken the next day for arraignment at state Superior Court in Stamford.
