A 40 year old New York woman was arrested in Altoona last Thursday after she tried to get bank account information using fraudulent ID’s. She’s been identified as Yvette Perez. Police say officers were sent to the First National Bank on East 25th Avenue in Altoona last Thursday because of a suspicious woman in the lobby. Police say when they arrived at the bank, Perez admitted she wanted to use the fraudulent ID’s to get bank account information. Perez was arraigned last week and is currently in the Blair County Prison. She’s charged with felony identity theft, possession of an instrument of crime and numerous other charges. In the meantime, the NYPD have requested she be extradited as there’s a warrant for her arrest in New York.
