Woman impersonating customers stole $188,000 from Longmont, Denver banks, police say

Police say a woman has tried to illegally withdraw other people’s money at two banks in Longmont by impersonating the account holders. The Longmont Public Safety Department is asking for help identifying her, according to a social media post that includes surveillance images.

So far, the woman has tried to withdraw money using fake IDs from three banks. She was successful at a bank in Denver and another in Longmont.

On July 1, the woman reportedly withdrew $88,000 at a UMB in Denver from a woman’s bank account, according to CBS Colorado. On July 2, police say she tried at Adams Bank & Trust, but was stopped when an employee recognized the ID as fake and denied the woman the withdrawal.

On Friday, she tried again, police say. This time, a Longmont customer lost more than $100,000 in an illegal withdrawal, the police say. Longmont Communications Director Lindsay Diamond said the department could not disclose the specific bank.

Police ask anyone with information identifying the woman to email mark.cooper@longmontcolorado.gov or to call 303-774-3517 in reference to Longmont police report 25-7901.
