On June 11, Gabriela Enache, 38, of Northern Boulevard, Flushing, was captured on live-stream surveillance using several different cards at an ATM at the People’s United Bank branch on Old Post Road, police said.
A People’s team has been investigating a skimming device scheme since February and bank employees alerted them to the suspicious activity, police said.
Enache was arrested for similar activity 45 minutes later at a Darien People’s branch, police said.
She had attempted to steal $4,060 from 19 accounts in Fairfield, police said.
Enache was arrested in court, where she was appearing on another matter. She was charged with third-degree larceny, fraudulent use of an automatic teller machine, receiving goods and services obtained illegally and 19 counts each of illegal use of a credit card and third-degree identity theft, police said.
Enache was held on $150,000 for the Darien incident and $100,000 for the Fairfield charges, police said.
