Bronx male arrested for grand larceny scam

On March 1, 2025, State Police members arrested Luis V. Peralta Morban, age 33, of Bronx, NY, for attempted grand larceny 3rd and grand larceny 4th.

 

On February 28, 2025, State Police members responded to Delancy Ave in the village of Brushton for a fraud complaint.  The investigation began when an 87-year-old victim from Brushton reported being scammed out of approximately $44,000.  The victim was initially contacted by a male via phone call gaining the trust of the victim by stating it was a relative who needed help.

The victim was contacted on different occasions providing large amounts of money to the suspect.  On the third contact with the suspect, the victim started to get suspicious of the incident and contacted law enforcement.

Through an active investigation, Peralta Morban was arrested and transported to SP Malone for processing.  He was arraigned in the Town of Moira Court, where he was later released on his recognizance.
