Women arrested after suspected attempted fraudulent bank withdrawal

PLYMOUTH, Minn. (KMSP) - Two women have been arrested after trying making an allegedly fraudulent withdrawal from a Wells Fargo bank in Plymouth, Minnesota.

According to court documents, both Karen Omnik and Jemina Etienne were arrested in May after Omnik attempted to withdraw $1800 using an ID bank employees thought was possibly fake.

Investigators later discovered 13 ID’s from various states in the women’s car, stashed in a hidden pocket of a pillow. The two women told police they were in town for a wedding, but couldn’t say whose wedding they were attending, court documents say.

Officers discovered $4400 in cash in the car and five cell phones that are the subject on continued investigation.
