HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A bank fraud scheme led to millions of dollars being stolen from residents in the central Pennsylvania area, the Attorney General’s Office said on Thursday.

Charges were filed against 24 people in the scheme that defrauded financial institutions in Cumberland, Dauphin, and York counties and stole more than $3 million from residents.

The crime organization was allegedly “steered” by Jeremy Fraticelli, 22, of York, who was arrested in October, the AG says. He was one of six higher-ups in the organization, along with Kermith Roldan-Lopez, 39; Juan Woodard Jr., 23; Tahire Reid, 26; Daniel Casiano, 22; and Shawn Chance, 27, all of York.

More arrests of the additional 18 co-conspirators are forthcoming, the AG says.

The alleged co-conspirators tricked customers by impersonating customer service representatives of the banks and obtained their private banking information, the AG says.

“This criminal enterprise ruthlessly deceived hard-working Pennsylvanians and violated their sense of security by stealing from bank accounts — to the tune of more than three million dollars,” Attorney General Sunday said. “Thanks to a collaborative, comprehensive investigation with the Pennsylvania State Police, we were able to identify the bad actors and their methods in this widespread scheme. We also thank the financial institutions for their full cooperation in the investigation.”

The members then allegedly withdrew the funds and split the profits. The investigation is ongoing, according to the AG’s office.

Deputy Attorney General Kayla Bolan and Kelsey Ashworth are prosecuting the case.
