Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and Suffolk County Police Financial Crimes Unit detectives are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate the man who stole money from a Melville man’s bank account.
A Melville resident was contacted by a man who identified himself as a bank representative and told the victim his bank account had been compromised and convinced him to turn over his card for destruction and reissuance. An unknown male went to the victim’s home on May 21 to retrieve the card and PIN. A man used the card at ATMs in Garden City and Valley Stream to withdraw $4,000 later that day.
