A Long Island mom scammed a bank out of $5,800 to get money to buy her daughter a wedding present, cops said.

Frances Carr, 57, of Stony Brook, was arrested by State Police yesterday and charged with grand larceny.

Carr allegedly opened a bank account at the People’s United Bank in St. James in June and then deposited a bogus $6,000 check.

That same month, Carr withdrew $5,800 from the account. When confronted, Carr said she “used the money to make repairs on her home and give a wedding gift to her daughter,’’ according to an investigator.
