On Wednesday, Feb. 1 at approximately 11 a.m., Blackstone Police responded to a report of a suspicious person in a drive-thru lane of UniBank For Savings, 10 Cheney St. Bank employees reported to police that they suspected the individual, later identified as MAINE, of using stolen or false documents in an attempt to withdraw cash.
Employees also reported that they had been warned by corporate security of a person fitting MAINE’s description who had allegedly fraudulently stolen thousands of dollars from other UniBank locations in the area earlier Wednesday.
Officers detained MAINE while they began an on-scene investigation, then placed her under arrest. She was transported to the Blackstone Police station to be booked. At that time, officers determined that MAINE was also wanted on active warrants in Massachusetts and across the country.
In a search of the vehicle MAINE was allegedly operating, officers located multiple IDs with different names, wigs, colored eye contact lenses, cell phones and an allegedly stolen license plate.
“This arrest represents a significant step in potentially preventing thefts that could add up to thousands of dollars in fraudulently acquired cash and stolen documents,” Chief Gilmore said. “Our officers were able to apprehend this individual without incident, and we will be cooperating with dozens of local and state agencies as we continue to investigate and prevent this type of crime. I would like to commend our officers on their handling of this case, as well as credit the bank employees for their vigilance.”
MAINE was arraigned Thursday in Uxbridge District Court.
These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
