On the afternoon of Aug 17 Greenwich Police plain clothes officers in the area of Greenwich Avenue spotted two men in an out-of-state vehicle fanning hundred-dollar bills.
As officers conducted surveillance on the vehicle, which was parked in the vicinity of a bank, they discovered an identity theft crime in progress occurring within one of the banks which was connected to this vehicle.
Greenwich Police bike patrol officers and plainclothes officers working in the area were able to detain and positively identify the arrestee, Christopher Ladd Calfin, 54, of Brooklyn, NY.
Investigation revealed that Calfin used two fraudulent identity documents, a fraudulent New York Driver’s License and fraudulent Wells Fargo debit card, which contained the personal identifying information of the victim, to impersonate that person and fraudulently open a checking account in their name.
Mr. Calfin was arrested and charged with Identity Theft 2, Criminal Impersonation, Forgery 2 and Forgery 3.
He was released on the required 10% of his $1,500 bond and assigned a date in Stamford Superior Court on Aug 31, 2022.
