Man Steals $18,000 In Forgery Case, Bank Calls Cops: Fairfield PD

FAIRFIELD, CT — A New York man is accused of trying to fraudulently withdraw more than $20,000 at Chase Bank locations in Fairfield and Bridgeport, according to police.

Igor Injomar Corporan, 24, of the Bronx, was arrested and charged Thursday with first-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit third-degree larceny and four counts of third-degree forgery, police said.

A Chase Bank location in Fairfield notified law enforcement about 2:45 p.m. that a man was making suspicious withdrawals, according to police, who arrived at the bank while Corporan was still inside.

Corporan tried to make four withdrawals Thursday from an account that was not his, police said. He took out $9,500 at a Chase Bank in Bridgeport before heading to Fairfield and withdrawing $8,500, according to police. Less than an hour later, he tried to take out another $5,500 at the same Fairfield branch, at which point bank employees recognized the potential fraud and stalled the transaction until law enforcement arrived, police said.

A fourth withdrawal attempt that occurred between Corporan’s stops in Bridgeport and Fairfield was being investigated Thursday, according to police.

Corporan was added to the victim’s bank account by a woman falsely claiming to be the account holder, police said. Corporan was being held Thursday on a $10,000 bond, according to police.
