Police have announced a second arrest in connection with a fraudulent U.S. Treasury check that allegedly caused a loss of more than $74,000 at a Valley Stream bank.
Laron McCravey, 40, of Freeport, was arrested following an investigation by the Nassau County Police Department’s Electronics Squad and the Nassau County District Attorney’s Major Financial Frauds Bureau, police said.
Detectives allege McCravey acted with Dwayne S. Campbell, 40, of Springfield Gardens, in depositing the fraudulent check at the Capital One Bank at 750 West Sunrise Highway at 11:39 a.m. on June 12, 2024.
The transaction caused a loss exceeding $74,000, according to police.
Campbell surrendered to detectives at the Eighth Precinct on Jan. 6, 2025. He was charged with second-degree grand larceny and second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and was arraigned that day at First District Court in Hempstead.
McCravey faces the same two felony charges. He was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday, July 30, 2026, at First District Court in Hempstead.
The charges are accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
