SOMERS, N.Y. - New York State Police in Somers announced that they have arrested and charged Nancy A. Edwards, 48, of Somers, with identity theft.
Police stated that Edwards stole identity and credit card information from an 86-year-old Somers resident and used the information to make $23,000 worth of purchases. The identity theft charge is a felony.
In addition, Edwards was charged with petty larceny, for allegedly scamming an elderly Somers couple of approximately $1,000. They purchased a tour through her company, Broadway Bound and Beyond, also known as Broadway Bound Tours. The tour was never delivered and the money was never refunded, police said.
Edwards was also arrested last year and charged with victimizing two North Salem residents through unauthorized use of their credit cards, police said. Illegal expenditures amounted to about $17,000 in that case. The North Salem cases are still pending at North Salem Court. A conviction on these charges alone could lead to a sentence of up to seven years.
Her name appears on the website ripoffreport.com. The complaint involves writing bad checks. Edwards has been known to live in the Lower Hudson Valley and in Danbury, Conn. She has also used other names, including Nancy Mulligan, Nancy Gilligan and Alice Edwards, according to police.
Anyone who suspects they might have been victimized by Edwards or by her company is asked to contact Investigator Cornelius Merritt of the New York State Police in Somers. The number is 914-277-3177.

Please Leave her Alone
I have known Nancy for a long time. First I would like to say this is inappropriate behavior from adults to slander and harass a woman who is trying to make it in this horrible economy. Everyone has baggage, for one I know for a fact she is innocent because if she wasn't innocent all these false claims and such she would be behind bars! So with that being said I would like you all to know her lawyer is now involved. the police will be able to trace any computer that has posted nasty comments and sending out links to ruin her life, if this does not come off or stopped. The gossip and rumors need to cease. They can trace your IP address and even if they are deleted there is snap shots of this blog, the police will be contacted should this be necessary and her lawyer has been notified and this matter is being taken very seriously.
Look at yourself in the mirror and try to tell yourself you are perfect. Nobody is. This is from failed marriages with bad men who set there wives up. She is an ethical strong woman who will not give up and just trying to live her life and take care of her daughters as a single mother.
The students in her class love and enjoy her, Everyone needs to make a living so please leave her alone. Not only does this nonsense effect her when you remark horribly it effects innocent children. Would you want rumors spread about you and your family when they are not true?
So what, she has a past she is not proud of. I have one too and I own it. She is not hurting anyone, she has taken complete responsibility for a failed business decision and now is trying to rebuild her life. She has NEVER used a false names nore stolen from anyone, she has been married three times and that is where the names came from. So there is no aliases in this at all. She has done Everything legal and will continue to do things legal. So unless you want a big lawsuit then you should stop the rumors and bashing thorough the towns and websites. People make mistakes and trust the wrong people, everyone deserves a second chance give her a break!!!
