On Tuesday around noon plainclothes Greenwich Police officers were alerted to suspicious activity at a bank in the area of Greenwich Avenue.
Patrol officers working the area were able to detain and positively identify the suspect, Ebony Kennedy, 39, of New York, NY.
According to Greenwich Police Lieutenant Lynden Latiak said Ms Kennedy attempted to flee from police officers.
“Officers ultimately detained the subject after a short foot chase and she swiped at the arresting officer’s arms and knocked the camera off his vest, but there were no injuries to either party,” Latiak explained. “No weapons were involved.”
Police said Ms Kennedy presented a counterfeit New York Driver’s License with the victim’s name and personal identifiable information in an attempt to fraudulently open a business checking account in the victim’s name.
