GREENWICH — Four men were taken into custody early Monday morning and accused of stealing mail in Riverside.
According to the police-report narrative, “At about 2:50 am Monday morning Greenwich police stopped a car in the Riverside section of town for driving without lights on. The car was occupied by four men who were in possession of other people’s mail. Further investigation revealed a device commonly used to unlawfully take mail from postal boxes.”
On of the suspects in the vehicle, Mohamed Bah, 21, of Morris Ave., the Bronx, N.Y., gave false information to officers about his identity, according to police, and was charged with interfering with a police investigation, along with other charges.
Arrested and charged with larceny, possession of burglary tools, conspiracy and criminal attempt at identity theft were: Amadou Diallo, 19, of Southfield Ave., Stamford; Hassan Togo, 20, of Richman Plaza, the Bronx, N.Y.; Mohamed Bah, 20, of Southfield Ave., Stamford.
Stolen mail, especially letters containing credit-card information, can be used in a variety of financial crimes, according to authorities.
Bail was set at $10,000 for the suspects.
By coincidence, Amadou Diallo was the name of a man killed by New York City police officers in the Bronx in 1999. He was a 23-year-old immigrant from Guinea, and police believed he was carrying a gun when he was killed. He was holding his wallet.
