A rookie NYPD cop allegedly swiped nearly $90,000 from elderly bank clients in Westchester County – splurging the dough on a butt-sculpting exercise program, his BMW, a tropical getaway and other personal expenses.

Yeison Rodriguez Acosta, 27, was arrested Wednesday and hit with a laundry list of charges for allegedly stealing $87,243 from 14 client accounts he had access to while employed at a Wells Fargo branch in Rye Brook before becoming a cop, according to the Westchester District Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors said the alleged thief carried out his scheme while working at the bank from March and September 2024 – and kept pocketing cash even after graduating from the police academy in May.

“The defendant’s brazen conduct, as alleged, does a disservice to his colleagues in law enforcement, who wear the badge honorably and took the same oath to protect and serve,” District Attorney Susan Cacace said in a statement.

“My administration will work to ensure that Mr. Rodriguez Acosta is held accountable for his alleged crimes and that the victims in this case are made whole.”

Rodriguez Acosta, who was employed as the branch operations coordinator, entered the police academy in October, five months after he allegedly started swindling seniors, according to the felony complaint.

The Manhattan man was assigned to the 48th Precinct in the Bronx for field training last month – all while allegedly continuing to siphon the embezzled money — and was nabbed while on duty, Cacace said.

Court documents showed Rodriguez Acosta blew the skimmed cash on credit card bills, insurance and BMW payments, a vacation to Aruba, an Airbnb stay, a subscription to “Booty By Jacks,” which describes itself as “the world’s best glute building program,” and other expenses.

“We urge anyone who may feel that they have been victimized to reach out to our department of the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office,” Rye Public Safety Commissioner Michael Kopy said.

The alleged fraudster was suspended from the department without pay, where he pulled in about $61,000 a year, following his arrest, Big Apple cops told the New York Times.

The NYPD did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Rodriguez Acosta was arraigned in Rye City Court Thursday morning on a 30-count complaint charging him with nine counts of third-degree grand larceny and first-degree identity theft, two counts of first-degree scheme to defraud, four counts of second-degree identity theft, and other crimes.

A temporary protection order was also granted for his victims. 

The accused con artist was released on the condition that he surrender his passport and contact the court every day until his next appearance on Sept. 30.

Rodriguez Acosta is not part of the group of 31 NYPD rookie cops the city says were wrongly hired and now wants to fire, sources told The Post.
