GREENE – Police arrested a couple in Greene Friday, accusing them of cashing stolen checks and forging the victim’s signature in order to steal nearly $3,000 from a local bank.

The Village of Greene Police Department announced the arrest of Heidi Cronin, 33, and Joseph Cronin, 32, of 12 Park Street Extension, Greene, for nine felony counts of second degree criminal possession of a forged instrument.

Police Chief Steven Dutcher said all the checks cashed were stolen from an Afton residence in late June.
