BUXTON — A suspect who is awaiting trial on charges she attempted to fraudulently obtain a loan at a Kittery bank is facing additional charges in connection with a similar incident in Buxton.

Roza Novikov, 34, of Boston, Massachusetts, was recently charged with Class B felony theft by deception and aggravated forgery — both charges carry a maximum prison term of 10 years upon conviction.

Police allege Novikov fraudulently took out a loan at TruChoice Credit Union on Narragansett Trail in Buxton on Jan, 14.

Police Chief Troy Cline on Thursday declined to specify the amount of the loan.

She was arrested in Kittery on Jan. 17, three days after obtaining the Buxton loan. She allegedly attempted to take out another loan at Key Bank and was arrested and charged with forgery and attempted theft, according to Kittery Police Department’s online records.

In the Kittery incident, two other people were arrested — Giovannie Williams, 30, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, and Andrew Whitney, 36, of Boston. Both were charged with criminal conspiracy to commit forgery and  attempted theft.

Novikov is currently held at York County Jail in Alfred in lieu of $20,000 bail.

Cline said she is scheduled to appear at York County Superior Court in Alfred on March 22.
