A woman's nationwide effort to steal people's identities and then their money came to an end in Batavia after she was caught trying to withdraw $3,000 from the local Bank of America branch.
In Genesee County Court on Monday, Cassandra Montrevel, 25, of Sacramento, Calif., told Judge Robert C. Noonan that she entered the local branch March 18 and used another person's identity to withdraw funds from her account.
Montrevel was later caught and admitted to police that she had used the same scheme at Bank of America branches across the United States.
The California woman has already entered a guilty plea in federal court to the crime in other states.
Montrevel faces a possible New York prison sentence of four years and another five years in federal custody.
