Man Arrested For Stealing Credit Card From Dobbs Ferry Gym

DOBBS FERRY, NY — A man with a history of felony convictions arrested for allegedly stealing a credit card from a Greenburgh gymnasium locker was arraigned on two felony charged. Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. said Ivan Vrabec, 48, of New Rochelle, was arraigned for second-degree identity theft and fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, both felonies.

Vrabec was arrested Dec. 19 and arraigned in the Greenburgh Town Court.

At the time, he was held in custody awaiting a bail hearing Dec. 24.

The judge set bail at $100,000 or bond at $250,000, based on information that Vrabec is currently on probation for similar crimes committed in New Jersey and his six prior felony convictions, authorities said.

Police said Vrabec stole a credit card from the men's locker room at the New York Sports Club in Dobbs Ferry Dec. 14.

He opened the combination lock on the victim's locker and put it back on without the victim knowing someone had broken in, police said.

Vrabec used the victim's stolen credit card to purchase more than $660 worth of wine from the Westchester Wine Warehouse in Greenburgh, according to the complaint.

If anyone believes their credit cards were stolen in the New York Sports Club in Dobbs Ferry Dec. 14, or in similar ways, should contact the Westchester County District Attorney's Office at 914-995-3420.
