Shenandoah Police: Bronx Man Tried to Access Account With Fake ID



SHENANDOAH – Borough police have filed multiple charges and are seeking the public’s help in locating a New York man accused of attempting to access a local bank account using a forged identification card.
According to Shenandoah Police, an alarm was received on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at approximately 3:50 p.m. from the First National Bank on North Main Street. Officers responding to the scene learned that a man had entered the bank and attempted to access an account using a Pennsylvania driver’s license as identification. Bank employees, who had been warned earlier that day of similar incidents at other branches, requested a password. The suspect then fled the building.

Staff retained a copy of the ID presented, which showed the photo of a Black male, although the account holder named on the license was a white male. Surveillance footage captured images of the suspect inside the bank and in the surrounding area, including his approach and departure on foot. Investigators later determined that he had arrived in a black 2014 Ford Fusion sedan bearing a New Jersey temporary registration.

Through circulation of the photos and videos among law enforcement and banking officials, the suspect was identified as Tony R. Bing, 55, of Bronx, New York. Bing’s exact address is currently unknown, and he is considered a fugitive.

Police filed the following charges against Bing:
  • Forgery – Uttering a Forged Writing (F2)
  • Identity Theft (F3)
  • Access Device Fraud – Counterfeit or Altered Device (M2)
  • Access Device Fraud – Unauthorized Use (M2)
  • Possession of a Counterfeit/Altered Access Device (M3)
  • Theft by Deception – False Impression (M3)
Anyone with information on Bing’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Shenandoah Police Department or Schuylkill County law enforcement authorities.
