JFK heist indicted $6
million designer goods
Queens District Attorney Melinda
Katz, joined by the Port Authority
Police Chief Security Officer
John
Bilich, today announced that
six individuals involved in two
cargo heists and selling the proceeds
have been indicted and variously
charged with grand larceny,
conspiracy, criminal possession of
stolen property and other crimes
for allegedly carrying out complex
heistsfrom JFK Airport earlier
this year.
Using insider information, the
defendants allegedly hauled tractor
trailers loaded with more than
$6 million worth of designer merchandise,
including Chanel, Prada
and Gucci bags, assorted jewelry
and clothing.
District Attorney Katz said,
“The safety and security of this
county’s airports are a top priority.
Teaming
up with our law enforcement
partners, we relentlessly pursued
the suspects, who allegedly used
forged documents and their insider
knowledge as former airport workers
to steal air cargo. Of course our
airports must be safe andsecure
for travelers, but they also must
be trusted by international companies
transporting cargo to our region
-especially during a pandemic
when our City needs PPE, test kits,
medical supplies and equipment. I
would liketo thank both the PAPD
and the FBI’s JFK Task Force for
their diligence in taking down thiscrew.
