Identity Theft Man is Charged in Denville, NJ

A Brooklyn resident charged with identity theft stole more than $11,000 from a victim’s account before an alert teller rejected an attempt to withdraw more and set police on his case, police said.

On Monday, police were called to the TD Bank on Route 53 for a report of a person trying to withdraw money from an account of another person.

The suspect had tried to use a fraudulent New York driver’s license with his own photograph and the victim’s personal information on it but an alert teller would not make the transaction and the suspect fled the bank before police arrived, police said.

During the subsequent investigation, LifeLock, a credit card and identity theft protection company, notified the victim that someone was trying to open an account in his name at the Best Buy in East Hanover, police said. The victim, who lives in Staten Island, immediately contacted police in Denville who in turn contacted East Hanover police and requested they respond to the store, police said.

An East Hanover police officer did respond to the store and observed the suspect, William Payne, leaving the store so they placed him under arrest, police said.

Police also learned that Payne had been to several banks in north Jersey and had been able to withdraw $11,000 from the victim’s bank account, police said.

Payne was charged with impersonation, theft of identity, criminal attempt and uttering false government documents. His bail was set at $25,000.
