An ID theft investigation at two M&T bank branches in North Greenbush ends with one man under arrest.
Workers got suspicious at the M&T Bank branch on Main Avenue.
Police say around 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, 56-year-old Edgar Castro of Cohoes was trying to take out thousands of dollars.
Workers felt something was off, because police say Castro just came from another M&T Bank on North Greenbush Road, where he’s accused of taking out $4,400. That account was flagged because the actual account holder’s information had been compromised.
While trying to withdraw nearly $4,000 at this second location, bank tellers refused the transaction. They called police.
