A Bronx man is being held on $300,000 bond after being charged with Criminal Attempt Larceny 3 and five counts of Forgery 3.
Police said that their plainclothes officers had noticed suspicious activity on Friday, July 21 in the central Greenwich business district.
The officers detained the suspect, later identified as Mwin Nowme Some, 34, and investigation revealed that he had utilized a fraudulent Con Edison bill that corresponded to a business IRS EIN document to attempt to fraudulently open a Verizon business account and circumvent paying for multiple phones, which would have totaled $2,600.
A search incident to arrest of Mr. Some’s vehicle revealed four additional Con Edison bills and conflicting identity documents for Mr. Some.
Also found in the vehicle were 14 different IRS EIN numbers for multiple businesses, receipts detailing successful transactions at other mobile providers totaling over $7,000, and multiple business debit cars which corresponded to the various business documents located in the vehicle, indicating that Mr. Some had used these to open at least four business bank accounts.
Mr. Some was unable to post his bond and has a date in Stamford Superior Court on Aug 4, 2023.
