LEDYARD — A Maryland man faces three larceny charges after Ledyard police investigated a reported scam that cost one person $55,748.
Police said they arrested Ikeoluwa Famubode, 40, on a warrant November 5 after he was taken into custody in Maryland and extradited to Connecticut. He was charged with first-degree larceny and two counts of second-degree larceny. Police said he was held on $150,000 bond after his arrest.
The investigation began August 3, 2024, police said. The department’s release did not describe how the scam worked or say whether any money was recovered. Police listed a November 6 appearance at New London Superior Court. The outcome of that appearance has not been confirmed.
The charges are allegations. Famubode is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
