Police arrest Schenectady women following a fraud investigation
On September 1, 2026, the New York State Police arrested Tina Seamans, age 46, of Schenectady, New York, for two counts of Forgery in the Third Degree, two counts of Identity Theft in the First Degree, and two counts of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree.
On August 11, 2025, at approximately 9:41 a.m., State Police were notified of a fraud complaint involving TrailNorth Federal Credit Union branches in the towns of Elizabethtown and Port Henry.
An investigation determined that an individual had fraudulently withdrawn a total of $9,700 from the two locations. Further investigation identified Seamans as the individual responsible. Seamans allegedly obtained $4,200 from the Port Henry branch and $5,500 from the Elizabethtown branch.
Investigators subsequently determined that Seamans was incarcerated at the Warren County Jail on an unrelated matter.
The Essex County District Attorney’s Office was consulted, and an order to produce Seamans was obtained on the above charges.
Seamans was transported by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) to SP Schroon Lake for processing. She was arraigned in the Town of Moriah and subsequently transported back to a state correctional facility to continue serving her sentence on the previous matter.
