WESTPORT — A Milford woman has been charged with cashing a check stolen from a shipment of new checks sent three years ago to a local man.

April Pirrello, 41, faces charges of fifth-degree larceny and third-degree forgery following her arrest last Thursday.

Police received the initial complaint March 26, 2018. A resident reported at the time a check had been cashed from a supply of new checks that his financial institution had sent to him. However, he said that he never received them.

The check, cashed for $600, was made out to “April Pirrello,” police said. The man told police that he had not written the check and did not know Pirrello, according to the report.

An officer investigating the case learned the check had been cashed at a Bridgeport check-cashing business. Using a tape from the store’s video surveillance, the officer was able to identify the suspect cashing a check, police said. That check was made out to “April Pirrello,” the report stated.

After gathering more evidence, police secured a warrant for Pirrello’s arrest and she surrendered Thursday at police headquarters.

Pirrello posted a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear on the charges Aug. 19 at state Superior Court in Stamford.
