Juveniles Rob Man for $16

On March 19, 2026, at approximately 6:39 p.m., the Spring Valley Police  Department responded to 120 South Main Street for a reported incident that  was later determined to be a robbery. Upon arrival, patrol officers located  and stopped two juvenile suspects and one adult male suspect. Through the  course of the investigation, officers learned that the victim had entered the  suspects’ vehicle, at which time a pair of scissors was held to the victim’s  throat. The suspects took the victim’s cellphone and approximately $10 in  cash. The suspects then attempted to transfer funds using applications on  the victim’s phone and were able to successfully send $6.00 through the  victim’s Cash App account. With the suspects not being satisfied with the  amount of money received, the victim convinced the suspects to release him  under the pretense of retrieving his physical bank card from his residence.  After exiting the vehicle and entering his apartment, the victim contacted  police.  

Following a thorough investigation, 19-year-old Dennis Osei, of New City,  a 17-year-old juvenile from West Haverstraw, and another 17-year-old  juvenile from the Bronx were arrested. The juveniles’ names are being  withheld due to their age.  

Dennis Osei has been charged with Robbery in the First Degree, a Class B  Felony; Robbery in the Second Degree, a Class C Felony; Menacing in the  Second Degree, a Class A Misdemeanor; Criminal Possession of Stolen  Property in the Fifth Degree, a Class A Misdemeanor; and Criminal  Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree, a Class A Misdemeanor.  Osei was arraigned in the Village of Spring Valley Justice Court by the  Honorable Judge Brimais-Tenemille where bail was set at $10,000 cash,  $25,000 bond and $35,000 partially secured bond, and he was remanded to the Rockland County Jail. 

Both juveniles were charged with Robbery in the First Degree, a Class B  felony, and Robbery in the Second Degree, a Class C felony, and were  arraigned in the Rockland County Youth Part of Superior Court by the  Honorable Judge Ascher. They were released on their own recognizance.  

A criminal complaint is merely an accusation; the defendant is presumed  innocent until proven guilty.
