Darien Man Charged with Fraud in Fairfield

A Darien man was charged with third-degree larceny by scheme Friday after he was arrested on a warrant for financial fraud, police said.

Frank Angelo, 54, of Fairfield Avenue in Darien allegedly opened a People’s Bank account in Greenwich in July of 2011 and then deposited a fraudulent check for $3,300 into a Fairfield People’s Bank branch in November, according to the police report.

He then reportedly wrote to $1,500 checks made out to his landlord, but there was only 84 cents in his account. The $3,300 from the check was returned for insufficient funds, police said.

Angelo was released on a promise to appear in court on May 25.
