NYPD Sergeant earning $200K busted for shoplifting cough medicine on Long Island
An NYPD sergeant who made more than $200,000 last year including nearly $55,000 in overtime assigned to a headquarters unit that takes ID card photographs was arrested Saturday for allegedly shoplifting cough medicine, according to officials, records and police sources.
Sgt. Rayna Madho, listed as a detective squad commander, was suspended without pay about 10 p.m. Saturday after her arrest in Nassau County, NYPD records show.
A Nassau County police spokesman said Madho, 41, of Queens was charged with 2 counts of petit larceny for two separate incidents on Dec. 7 and Nov. 24 at the Target store on Sunrise Highway in Valley Stream, L. I. She was issued a desk appearance ticket and ordered to return to court on Dec. 27, Nassau police said.
Madho was accused in the Dec. 7 incident of stealing Zarbee’s Cough Syrup which retails for $9.99 at Target and Riccola Cough Drops which retail for $4.99 at the store, a law enforcement source said.
Madho is assigned to the SIU Photographic Squad, which takes photos for official identification cards at police headquarters. She joined the unit in March 25, 2022.
In total, Madho made $201,625 in fiscal 2024, the most recently available figure, including $126,211 in base pay, $54,939 for 555 hours of overtime and $20,475 in other pay, city payroll records show.
Madho is the vice president of the influential Desi Society, an umbrella NYPD fraternal group that represents cops of South Asian heritage.
Reached by phone, Madho initially said “No” when asked by a reporter with the Daily News if she was arrested and then ended the call.
An NYPD spokesperson declined comment except to confirm she was suspended without pay.
She previously was assigned to the photo unit, detective squads in the 7th and 13th Precincts and two commands in Brooklyn, according to 50-a.org.
She has been a defendant in five civil lawsuits which settled for a total of $161,000. In one of those suits filed in 2019, video allegedly showed Madho dropping a pill bottle in a car while her police partner arrested motorist Abdul Pullium back in 2015, Gothamist reported.
Pulliam’s lawyer alleged the video showed officers planting the bottle, Gothamist reported. The suit settled for $7,500, a relative drop in the bucket when compared to other police settlements.
Madho joined the force in January 2006. She was promoted to detective and sergeant in 2013 and to detective squad commander in 2021.
In a March social media post for Women’s History Month, the Sergeants Benevolent Association said Madho was born in Trinidad, moved to the U.S. at age 12 and graduated from York College.

Jump into a conversationHey Tommy, I know her. She is a good friend and I’m surprised she would do something so stupid. She’s not black; she’s 100% Indian from Trinidad.
If her family has been in Trinidad for a couple of generations, she is more likely to be mixed. Under conditions like that, one can not say 100 percent East Indian without a DNA test.
Regardless, it was foolish and short sighted criminal behavior. If she went to college at York and took a criminology course, or two, she would know about the phenomenological/experiential approach to criminal behavior – it’s an opportunistic act done for the thrill of the moment. She would also know to guard against that being in a position of authority which would make her crime even more egregious.
