Cops: Man Took Money from Oceanside Business, Performed No Work

A Queens man faces grand larceny charges for taking thousands of dollars from a client in Oceanside without performing any services, according to Nassau County Police.

On April 25, Orin Morris, 48, took a check for $7,500 to Pro Form Piping in exchange for work he would perform with NCA Plumbing and Heating, cops said. The 52-year-old victim was promised work would be performed in his Oceanside business, police said.

Morris cashed the check but never performed any work in the business, investigators said.

Morris was arrested Wednesday at 8:15 a.m. and charged with third-degree grand larceny. He will be arraigned Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead.
