A Bronx woman was arrested Friday morning in Franklin Square after attempting to cash a fraudulent check, Nassau police said.
Yareny Almonte, 18, of 1138 E. 229th St., tried to cash the fake check at the Commerce Bank at 690 Hempstead Turnpike about 9:20 a.m., police said. Police said the branch manager found the check suspicious, conducted an investigation and contacted police.
Almonte was arrested without incident, police said, and charged with second-degree possession of a forged instrument and fourth-degree attempted grand larceny.
She was arraigned Saturday in First District Court, Hempstead.
