DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. — A Florida woman is facing multiple charges after she allegedly transferred and withdrew $100,000 from a Dauphin County resident's bank account.
In June 2022, the Lower Paxton Township Bureau of Police took a report from a township resident, who reported unauthorized wire transfers and withdrawals from their PNC Bank account, totaling over $100,000 in losses.
Officers opened an investigation and observed all of the transactions to occur in Florida, at a time when the victim was present in Pennsylvania.
Throughout the investigation, Dinecia Josie, a PNC Bank employee from Palm Beach, was identified as a suspect. Josie allegedly used her position as a bank employee to illegally access banking and personal information belonging to the Lower Paxton Township resident and provided this information to co-conspirators, who then completed fraudulent withdrawals.
An arrest warrant was issued for Josie, who was taken into custody and recently extradited back to Pennsylvania. She has been charged with identity theft, unlawful use of a computer, theft by deception, forgery, access device fraud, theft by unlawful taking and dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity.
MDJ Wenner arraigned Jose on Oct. 8, where bail was set at $150,000 and she was returned to Dauphin County Prison.
