Man Steals $4K From Melville Man's Bank Account: Police

MELVILLE, NY — Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is seeking the public's help finding the man who, police said, stole money from a Melville man’s bank account.

A Melville resident was contacted by a man who identified himself as a bank representative and told him that his bank account had been compromised, police said. The caller convinced him to turn over his card for destruction and re-issuance, police said. An unknown man went to the victim’s home
