More charges have been made against a West Bablyon woman on grand larceny and identify theft offenses.

Last spring, the Crimes Against Property Squad reported the arrest of Jenet Bruni, 60, of West Bablyon on April 24 in connection with Identity Theft and related offenses that occurred in Massapequa.

According to detectives, on Feb. 11, 2007, the defendant used the 64-year-old victim's personal information to open an American Express account, on-line, and then to make charges against the fraudulent account, for a total loss to AMEX of over $47,000.

When AMEX notified the victim that "his" account was in arrears, the ID theft was discovered and subsequent investigation led to Bruni's arrest, detectives added. The victim and the defendant were past acquaintances.

Bruni was charged with Identity Theft 1st Degree (D Fel), Grand Larceny 3rd (D Fel) and Falsifying Business Records 1st (E Fel). She was arraigned on April 25 in First District Court, Hempstead.

Last week, detectives report that the ongoing investigation of the February 2007 crime has led to more charges against defendant Jenet Bruni for additional cards she possessed fraudulently in the name of the same victim.

The defendant is additionally charged with Grand Larceny 3rd degree, Identity Theft 1st degree and two counts of Falsifying business Records 1st degree. Defendant Bruni was arraigned on Thursday, June 12, at First District Court 99 Main Street Hempstead.
