FAIRFIELD, Conn. An employee at a Fairfield bank was charged with forging documents to take more than $1,800 from customers' accounts, police say. Alexander Moran, 22, of Trumbull was arrested on a warrant Monday in connection with incidents that occurred in November.
The manager at Hudson City Savings Bank on the Post Road told police forged withdrawal slips were used to take money from two accounts. One account-holder found that an $820 withdrawal was made on Oct. 31, followed by a $200 transaction on Nov. 2. In both cases, security footage showed Moran making the withdrawals, police say.
Investigators also linked Moran to a $780 withdrawal from another customers account. During a check of Moran's cash drawer on Nov. 8, $80 was found missing, police say. He was then fired.
Moran promised to make restitution, according to the police report. But police applied for an arrest warrant for three counts of second-degree forgery. He turned himself in Monday afternoon. He was released on a $5,000 bond and is due in court on Jan. 21.
Also from the police blotter:
Fairfield Police officers discovered that a shoplifting suspect at a Fairfield supermarket was wanted as a fugitive for crimes committed in Florida. Cory Jones, 30, of Bridgeport was charged with larceny and interfering with an officer by Fairfield police and is awaiting extradition.
Store security at Super Stop & Shop on Villa Avenue called police Monday to report that Jones attempted to take $233 worth of batteries, lip balm and deodorant from the store. According to the police report, he placed the items in a shopping cart, went to the self-checkout lane and put the merchandise into bags without scanning them.
Jones attempted to fight both store security and responding officers during the arrest, police say. He also gave a false birthdate in an attempt to conceal his identity, according to the police report.
Officers found a warrant for Jones' arrest on burglary charges in Broward County, Fla. He was held on a $250,000 bond for that charge and could be extradited to Florida. For Fairfields charges bond was set at $10,000, and Jones is due in court Jan. 31.
