SPRING VALLEY, NY — A 28-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with a string of vehicle break-ins, following a proactive operation by the Spring Valley Police Department on August 20, 2025.

According to police, the operation was launched in response to a recent uptick in larcenies from vehicles throughout the village. Officers were conducting surveillance in known target areas including Rose Avenue, Ewing Avenue, Prospect Street, and the Bethune Boulevard corridor when they observed a man matching the description from previous larceny investigations.

The suspect, later identified as Daeshawn Wesley Outerbridge, was reportedly seen using a cellphone flashlight to peer into parked vehicles in the lot at 131 Bethune Boulevard. When officers attempted to stop him for questioning, he fled on foot. Police gave chase and apprehended him in the area of Slinn Avenue.

A canvass of the area later revealed a vehicle with a shattered driver’s side window in the parking lot of 90 Ewing Avenue, where property was confirmed stolen. A second vehicle was also found to have been unlawfully entered and rummaged through, though no theft was reported from that car.

Outerbridge, a Spring Valley resident, was arrested and charged with the following:

Criminal Mischief in the 3rd Degree (E Felony)
Petit Larceny (A Misdemeanor)
Attempted Petit Larceny (A Misdemeanor)
Obstructing Governmental Administration (A Misdemeanor)

He was arraigned before Judge Sweet of the Spring Valley Justice Court and remanded to the Rockland County Jail.

The Spring Valley Police Department extended its thanks to the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office Drone Unit, the Rockland B.C.I., the Ramapo Police Department, and the New York State Police for their assistance in the investigation.

All charges are accusations. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

ORANGETOWN, N.Y. — Detectives with the Orangetown Police Department arrested two men after intercepting a suspected fraud scheme that funneled tens of thousands of dollars in cash to a vacant residence in Tappan, authorities said.

Police said the investigation began on April 28, 2026, when a man from Utah reported that his wife had been scammed out of $6,700 through a bank account scheme. Authorities determined the money had been sent via a package delivery service to an unoccupied home in the Tappan section of Town of Orangetown.

Detectives conducting surveillance observed two individuals retrieve three packages from the residence before attempting to leave the area. Officers stopped the pair and recovered the parcels, which investigators say were tied to three separate fraud cases across the country.

According to police:

One package contained $6,700 linked to a bank scam involving a victim in Utah
A second package contained $12,500 connected to a computer virus scam targeting a victim in Illinois
A third package contained $24,500 associated with an FBI impersonation and identity theft scam involving a victim in Colorado

Authorities identified the suspects as Tian Quan Xie, 20, of Brooklyn, and Wei Ping Sun, 39, of Queens. Both were charged with third-degree grand larceny and fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, each classified as felonies under New York law.

The suspects were arraigned in Orangetown Justice Court and released pending a return court date of May 18, 2026.

The Orangetown Police Department’s Detective Bureau credited the Rockland County Intelligence Unit for its assistance in the investigation.
