... #ad▼

Jovanny D. Sosa, 21, of Hanover Park has been charged with misappropriating property from a TCF Bank in Arlington Heights where he was employed.

Cook County prosecutors say Jovanny Sosa set up four fraudulent savings and checking accounts at a Wood Dale TCF branch.

Sosa then accessed the accounts from the Arlington Heights branch where he worked as a supervisor. Allegedly, Sosa electronically deposited $2,000 into each account.

According to prosecutors, Benjamin Andrade, 20, and Antonio Rodriguez, 21, both of Hanover Park, then went to ATMs and withdrew $500 from each account, resulting in fraudulent loss of funds from TCF totaling $2,000.

A Cook County judge set bail at $10,000 Monday for Jovanny D. Sosa, of the 5700 block of Ring Court in Hanover Park.

If convicted of the class 3 felony, Jovanny Sosa faces two to five years in prison with probation available.

Andrade and Rodriguez appeared in Rolling Meadows bond court on Tuesday afternoon charged with misappropriating property from a financial institution, unlawful use of a credit or debit card and theft.

Bail was set at $10,000 each for Andrade and Rodriguez. The defendants could face up to five years in prison if convicted of the most serious charges with probation available.

The defendants do not have any criminal history. All are scheduled for their next court appearance on June 6, 2013.
