A Queens Village woman was arrested after Nassau County police said she deposited a counterfeit $30,000 cashier’s check at a Kings Point credit union and withdrew the entire amount from her account.
Nathalie A. Desouza, 30, allegedly deposited the counterfeit Citizens Bank cashier’s check into her personal account at Navy Federal Credit Union, 300 Steamboat Road, in September 2023, according to police information reported by News 12.
Police said Desouza then withdrew the full $30,000 between Sept. 5 and Sept. 7, 2023.
Following what police described as an extensive investigation by the Nassau County Police Electronic Squad Fraud and Forgery Section, detectives located Desouza in New York City on Oct. 20, 2026, and placed her under arrest.
Desouza was charged with third-degree grand larceny and second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. She is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 21 in First District Court in Hempstead.
