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.
