NEWARK, N.Y. – A 65-year-old man is facing multiple felony charges following a multi-jurisdictional investigation involving identity theft, grand larceny, and forgery, according to the New York State Police.
Frank Torres was taken into custody on April 8 and processed at a local state police barracks before being remanded to the Wayne County Jail.
The investigation began on July 24, 2024, when troopers were called to the Reliant Credit Union in Newark after a man reportedly withdrew $4,500 using falsified identification. Authorities later tied Torres to a similar fraud attempt at the Reliant branch in Macedon.
As the case unfolded, investigators found evidence connecting Torres to a broader scheme involving forged documents and fraudulent financial activity across county lines.
Charges Against Frank Torres:
3 counts of Identity Theft
Grand Larceny
Attempted Grand Larceny (3rd and 4th degree)
2 counts of Falsifying Business Records
2 counts of Forgery
Torres remains in custody while the investigation continues. Authorities have not ruled out additional charges or suspects in connection to the case.
