Livonia, NY – A Monroe County man has been arrested on multiple felony charges after authorities investigated reports of stolen credit cards and cash in Livingston County.
According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a residence in Livonia on Tuesday evening following a report of stolen property. Investigators allege the theft occurred earlier that day on Pebble Beach Road in Lakeville.
Sheriff’s investigators say the case led to the arrest of 49-year-old Ronald Olshefski of Gates on Wednesday. Olshefski was charged with felony counts of grand larceny in the fourth degree and identity theft in the second degree, along with one count of petit larceny. He was taken to the Livingston County Jail for processing before appearing in centralized arraignment court.
Authorities reported that Olshefski was later arraigned before Town of Geneseo Justice Houston. He was released on his own recognizance under New York State bail reform laws. The Livingston County Public Defender’s Office represented him during the hearing, while the District Attorney’s Office appeared on behalf of the prosecution.
The Sheriff’s Office said its Criminal Investigations Division and Patrol Division assisted in the case. Officials noted the arrest followed an investigation into attempted purchases made with the stolen credit cards after the theft.
