Police say Kayleigh Mendonca of Leominster, Massachusetts, was in
disguise last Friday when she drove up to the window of the IC Federal
Credit Union in Fitchburg and filled out a form to withdraw $500 from
her boyfriend's account, using his driving license as identification.
“At first glance the authorities and officials there at the bank saw the mustache falling off, which gave them the first clue that something may be not necessarily on the up and up,” Fitchburg
Police Sgt. Glenn Fossa said.
A credit union teller told Mendonca to come inside the bank. Bank
officials then immediately noticed her huge coat and gloves. She's only 5
feet tall and her voice changed from low to high when they asked her
questions.
Police said when it became clear the credit union wasn't going to allow her to make a withdrawal, she ran out and pushed a bank employee. She took off in her boyfriend's truck empty-handed. “Right now I think the most surprised folks are the folks that thought there was an attempt to make a very good disguise which turned out to be not such a great disguise,” Fossa said. Mendoca was charged with six counts, including identity fraud. Her bail was set at $5,000 cash and her next scheduled court appearance is March 10.
