A former NYPD officer has admitted to stealing money from bank customers in Westchester County.

Yeison Rodriguez-Acosta, 28, pleaded guilty to grand larceny, identity theft and scheme to defraud.

He admitted to stealing more than $100,000 from dozens of customers while working at a Wells Fargo branch in Rye Brook, prosecutors said.

Authorities say he used customer information he obtained through his job to carry out the thefts.

Rodriguez-Acosta has since resigned from the NYPD.

He is scheduled to be sentenced in September.
