The news as it trends

A woman from Suffern, New York, has been arrested by the Ramapo Police Department for allegedly stealing more than $25,000 from elderly individuals under her care.

The 39-year-old suspect, whose name has not been publicly released, worked at a senior assisted living facility and reportedly exploited her position to gain access to residents’ financial accounts.

The investigation began in July 2025 when one elderly victim noticed suspicious withdrawals from their bank account.

Authorities uncovered a pattern of unauthorized transfers and purchases, all traced back to the suspect.

In one instance, she allegedly added herself to a 95-year-old relative’s account and drained it to furnish a luxury apartment.

In another, she funneled funds from a resident’s account directly into her own.

Ramapo Police arrested the woman on September 30 and charged her with third-degree grand larceny, a felony offense.

She is currently awaiting arraignment in Rockland County Court.

The case has exposed the dangers of leaving elderly individuals financially vulnerable and underscores the urgent need to safeguard their well-being.

Authorities urge families to monitor accounts closely and report any suspicious activity.

The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may follow as more victims come forward.
