Stolen Credit Card Spending Spree

The incident in question took place last week on Monday August 11, 2025. It was at approximately 8:21pm, when New York State Police responded to the Sloatsburg Service Area in the village of Sloatsburg for a report of a larceny complaint.

State Police conducted a preliminary investigation once on the scene and determined that an employee of the service area used a credit card that was left behind by another patron, and proceeded to use it making a number of purchases from several businesses located in Spring Valley, NY.

State Police identified the service area employee as 28-year old, Raufoliana O. Louis Jean, of Spring Valley. In total, Louis Jean spent a total of $1,636.18 on the fraudulently purchased merchandise.
