Caught: Man Cashed $14,000 Worth of Stolen Checks in Bronxville

Bronxville Police arrested a 24 year-old Haverstraw resident believed to have stolen over $14,000 on Thursday, money he would have obtained by cashing two separate stolen checks at the Trustco Bank on Park Place in Bronxville.

Sedrick D. Young, 24, was arrested Thursday by Bronxville Detectives Richard Anderson and Nicholas DeYoung, and charged with two counts of grand larceny in the third degree, both D-felonies.

Young cashed the two checks at the Trustco Bank in Bronxville on separate dates, the first on May 16 and the second on July 13 of this year. The checks cashed were in the amounts of $5,023.52 and $9,250.00 respectively, for a total amount of $14,273.52. The origin of the two checks, each made out to a legitimate business, remains under investigation by Bronxville detectives.

Young has been arrested on one other occasion, in 2009 by NYPD, charged at the time with criminal possession of a loaded firearm, a C-felony. At the time of his arrest by Bronxville police Thursday, Young was still on probation for that offense.

Young was arraigned in the Village of Bronxville Justice Court by Judge George Mayer, and his bail was set at $15,000. He was then transported to the Westchester County Jail, and ordered to return to the Bronxville Court on October 5.
