Lieutenant Raymond Murphy walks around these days very happy. He works in the Delaware Valley Intelligence Center. Apparently, there is no vetting process to work there for Murphy.
Police Officers need a high security clearance to work there. Apparently no one checked with PECO. Once again, lack of a logistical officer.
Murphy was reportedly put there because of the theft of utilities investigation and there was no more room in DPR. Recently deceased Police Lieutenant Vinnie Testa killed himself shortly after he was placed in DPR after the result of an investigation. Another officer implicated, was arrested the day after Testa killed himself. Murphy keeps getting breaks.
Murphy sits comfortably in his perceived knowledge that he got away with stealing electricity that everyone else has to pay for. He is secure in the knowledge that while Aisha Perry was jailed for contempt of court after she repeatedly told the Court she did not steal anything and her bills should be introduced to prove it; Murphy feels nothing will happen to him.
Murphy is secure in the knowledge that the Montgomery County residents who were arrested for getting a reduced bill and had to pay legal fees and restitution to PECO, that he will be given a pass. Murphy has be proven right so far.
Murphy is smart enough to want to stay out of the limelight. Murphy wants no trouble with anyone. Murphy knows the search warrant and the evidence gathered against him is overwhelming.
Murphy certainly doesn’t want to be exposed to the public and suffer the steep financial cost and public humiliation that certainly await a man who earns a decent salary. You see, Murphy is alot different than the Montgomery County residents who were criminally charged for their role in the scheme.
Lieutenant Raymond Murphy is an electric thief. So was Police Officer Douglas DiEmdieo. Officer DiEmidio Arrested for Stealing Electricity
Officer DiEmdieo would not have been arrested, except that he also was engaged in a multi-million dollar insurance scam with 41 other people. He was going to be arrested anyway. He was caught on film, stealing electricity. Even though Internal Affairs was going to do nothing.
Officer DiEmideo was originally transferred to the 18th District after disciplinary action. Ironically, the word was passed down to “look out” for him by assigning him to the University City District. Nope. That wasn’t going to happen. When Internal Affairs discovered he was going to be arrested anyway for an insurance scheme, they decided, maybe he should be arrested. DiEmideo resigned. He was arrested again shortly for his alleged involvement the insurance scam. Officer Arrested In Insurance Scheme
Lieutenant Raymond Murphy continues to work, while he is paying back PECO for the theft. His co-horts were arrested in the County.
Marcelino Cuadra Jr., 46 of Aramingo Avenue, pled guilty in Montgomery County Court to charges of corrupt organizations, theft of services and conspiracy to commit theft of services in connection with the meter tampering incidents. The theft occured in Montgomery, Chester, Bucks, Delaware and Philadelphia counties. They occurred between December 2009 and October 2012. Electric Thefts Lt. Raymond Murphy was one of his clients.

When the police department was notified of the allegations against Lt. Ray Murphy, he was taken from the Accident Investigation Division, (AID) and put in, wait, hold it……..the Real Time Crime Center. Being in DPR he would never have been able to continue to make overtime. But, in the RTCC, he is still able to collect overtime, all while under investigation. Check out his salary below:
Huh? Here’s a unit that you need a special clearance to be assigned to, and they assign an admitted electric thief, (if you’re paying them back, you’re acknowledging you owe them for something that you didn’t pay for). Where’s the logistical officer for the Philadelphia Police Department. Why wasn’t he put in the Differential Response Unit, or DPR as it is called. Where all the pregnant, corrupt and crazy cops land when they’re in hot water.
Lt. Raymond Murphy is in the “protected class”, and not that one either.
Everyone in the jurisdiction of Montgomery County was also charged and have to pay restitution to PECO. Montgomery County Prosecutor Sophia Polites saw to that. But the Philadelphia prosecutor’s office has failed to charge Lt. Murphy as of this writing. Things go this way, if you wait for the statute of limitations, you can “take care of” people you wish to protect.
Marcelineo Cuadra Jr., “generated” probation for the theft of $346K. Meter Tamperer Gets Probation He says he was paid a fee by the group of thieves to ensure they had a lower bill. Lt. Murphy had single digit bills. Even with his above ground pool.
Montgomery County Prosecutor Sophia Polites also charged the homeowners and businesses who engaged in the theft. But not in Philadelphia.
Officer Douglas DiEmdieo was captured by PECO on film, stealing electricity. The Philadelphia Police Department was notified of the theft. Yet, he remained on the streets. He was transferred to the 18th District where he was finally relieved of his duties, after Internal Affairs discovered he was going to be indicted for insurance fraud. 41 Indicted For Insurance Fraud After this revelation, there was no longer a need to protect him and he was promptly charged with the utility theft. Former Cop Arrested for 10K PECO Theft Officer DiEmedio quietly pled guilty, was fined $5,000.00 and restitution.
Former Sergeant Demetrius Beasley was also terminated for theft of utilities. As was Former Lieutenant Aisha Perry. One Lieutenant is Fired and Charged; One is Not The differences is that Aisha Perry was charged criminally. Demetrius Beasley was not. Lt. Harold Lloyd and Lt. Raymond Murphy were not, and they’re both still Philadelphia Police Officers.
When former Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey was asked at an arbitration why Lt. Harold Lloyd and the other cops caught stealing LiHeap funds weren’t terminated, he responded, in summary, that he views the thefts different. Although they both were thieves, he felt stealing on paper was a little less significant than stealing by tampering with equipment. And the cops all paid back the federal funds they stole.
Huh?
Theft of utilities is quite easy to prove with an analysis of the bills. The differences in all the above cases is the while all the others admitted theft, one did not, Aisha Perry. Aisha Perry, disappointed that her utility bills weren’t put into evidence, although they were there on both power point and hard copy, stated she hadn’t stolen anything. Aisha Perry was charged with theft of three utilities, which was a bit much, as a review of her bills would have exonerated her. Perry whistleblower
Ms. Perry felt her attorney, a back-up to her original attorney, was unprepared for court. Ms. Perry believes the irony of her charges, in addition to the above cases, is that when it came to her, another officer, Officer George Suarez, who had nothing to do with her home, was charged, and exonerated for theft of services at her private home. Yet, Officer Suarez was not charged at his home.
Aisha Perry says it is because “the fix was in.” She says that PGW found an illegal device on Officer Suarez property at which his mother was residing. And wherever Officer Suarez had an interest, it seems there was an illegal device. But there was no illegal device found in her home. She maintains she was charged with electric and water theft because she was a whistleblower. Perry says her electric bills are high and always have been high. She further maintains that “you can charge people with anything, and I did have an olympic size pool, which certain people in the police department did not like.” (More on that later) Perry was exonerated of the water theft and not guilty of the gas theft. Perry is appealing her conviction. Perry Retaliation
How can the District Attorney’s office pick and choose who they will charge and who they will not? How can the Police Department keep any thief in their employ. How can entire units get away with stealing, theft of services, by not showing up for work, and only get the money taken from their pensions? How can then Sergeant Javier Rodriguez and Corporal Reinaldo Peluzzo also get caught stealing and only suffer the consequences of being transferred out of Narcotics.
When will Lieutenant Raymond Murphy be charged? And will he be charged with theft of services for water, as he has an above ground pool? When will there be some consistency on disciplining and charging of cops who commit crimes?
