A 27-year-old man who stole and then altered a check in 2022, was recently arrested at Riker’s Island jail by Darien Police, the department announced. Police gave this further account, including accusations not proven in court:
A woman, apparently from Darien (police didn’t say), told police that on Oct. 25, 2022, the check she mailed out to her painter had been stolen and altered. Mohamed Fofana of the Bronx deposited the check in a TD Bank branch, using a false identity. Fofana also fraudulently created a business entity, Prelude Painting LLC.
