At Conyer’s February plea hearing, prosecutor Lee H. Vilker said the government could prove that on July 11, 2006, Conyers, Moore, and Tucker drove to Bank of America branches in Cranston, East Providence and North Providence.

Moore waited in the car, either Conyers or Tucker entered the bank branch, presented fake identification in the name of a real bank customer with a California address, and made or attempted to make a withdrawal, authorities said. They successfully made about $10,800 worth of withdrawals at three branches.

Tucker unsuccessfully tried to withdraw money at a branch in Cranston, and the manager notified other branches of her suspicious activity. Another branch manager later saw Tucker and Conyers changing wigs in a car outside a branch on Smithfield Road in North Providence. That manager called North Providence Police, who broadcast the car’s license plate number.

Seekonk, Mass., police stopped the women’s car on Route 6, and notified North Providence Police. Seekonk police seized $13,646 from Conyers and Moore.

North Providence police seized luggage from the women’s motel room in Seekonk and, in the luggage, found ten fraudulent California driver’s licenses in various names, bearing either Tucker’s or Conyer’s photograph. They also found fake social security cards in various names, and Bank of America customer profiles.

At separate hearings, the defendants pleaded guilty to bank fraud conspiracy, various counts of bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft, which is committing identity theft in connection with another felony, the U.S. Attorney's office said.

The United States Secret Service and North Providence Police investigated the case, with assistance from Seekonk Police.
