Regine Valery, also known as Regine Johnson, 38, of Carle Place, who was employed as an aide for a 92-year-old woman in Sands Point, was arrested by Nassau County police officers following an investigation into the alleged grand larceny.
According to investigators, on Monday, Nov. 11, Valery’s victim’s daughter, who had mailed her mother a package, discovered that the package was redirected to another address and alerted the police.
The subsequent police investigation led to the discovery that Valery changed the victim’s mailing address to a PO box in Roosevelt. Valery also allegedly used her victim’s credit card without her permission totaling over $22,000 between Aug. 16 and Oct. 7 last year.
Valery was arrested at her home at approximately 1 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29 without incident and charged with third-degree grand larceny, fourth-degree grand larceny and first-degree identity theft. She was scheduled to be arraigned later in the day.
Any other potential victims who may have been targeted by Valery have been asked to contact Nassau County Police detectives by calling 911.
