Bronx Man Charged with Forging I.D. to Steal Cash

A Bronx, N.Y., man was indicted by a Freehold grand jury last week on charges he used fake documents to steal $500 from a Bradley Beach bank, documents show. 

Anthony Rodriguez, 33, faces four counts in Superior Court stemming from a January incident in which authorities allege he used a fake driver's license and credit card to withdraw cash belonging to a victim named only as "H.W." from Chase Bank in the borough, the indictment says. 

Three other Bronx men also were charged with obstructing the administration of law during the investigation, the indictment says. 

Rodriguez is charged with theft by deception, uttering a simulated document, possession of a simulated document, and uttering a forged instrument, the indictment signed May 3 by county Prosectutor Peter E. Warshaw Jr. says. All are third-degree crimes. 

Jency Diaz, 21, Ricardo Perez, 24, and Josue Martinez, 21, all of the Bronx, N.Y., face fourth-degree obstructing the administration of law or other governmental function, the indictment says.
