Abandoned 4-year-old
reunited with mother
BY ROSE ADAMS
A Coney Island man faces 20 years behind
bars following his arrest Tuesday
morning for allegedly exporting illegal
gun parts to Russia.
The criminal complaint alleges that
the defendant, a 58-year-old Russian
immigrant who has lived in the U.S.
since 2011, sent parts for sniper rifl es
to buyers in Russia without obtaining
a license from the State Department to
export the restricted goods.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s
Offi ce, the Coney Island suspect mislabeled
the illegal shipments, and hid
the gun components within them to
avoid detection.
“As alleged in the complaint, the
defendant violated laws intended
to safeguard our national security,”
stated U.S. Attorney, Richard P. Donoghue.
In May 2017, Customs and Border
Protection seized a package the defendant
allegedly sent through the
U.S. Postal Service from his home

contained triggers, magazines, and
other gun accessories — although
the description of the package’s contents
mentioned only “reloading
tools, hand tools, sporting goods, and
cleaning tools,” the criminal report
claimed.
In another shipment sent April 2018,
border security at John F. Kennedy International
Airport uncovered more
magazines and a rifl e chassis hidden
among sneakers, jeans, and a heating
pad, according to the prosecution.
Cops arrested the defendant at his
second home in Pennsylvania this
morning, and brought him to Brooklyn,
where U.S. Magistrate Judge
Sanket J. Bulsara charged him with
illegally exporting, attempting to export
and conspiring to export fi rearm
parts and accessories. If convicted, the
defendant could face up to 20 years in
prison.
The Coney Island man was released
on a bond Tuesday afternoon, the U.S.
Attorney’s Offi ce reported.

Police reunited a 4-year-old girl who
had been abandoned by a school bus
driver in southern Brooklyn with her
mother Monday night, after city Department
of Environmental Protection
workers rescued her earlier in the
day.
City employees Matthew Alongi and
Tori Boria spotted the youngster walking
along the bustling Shore Parkway
near 27th Avenue on Aug. 5, and were
driven by their own parental instincts
to lend a helping hand.
“As a parent, I saw the girl walking
in the middle of Shore Parkway, a very
busy street, by herself and thought
‘something is not right,’ so me and Tori
decided to help her,” Alongi said at a
press conference Tuesday morning.
The tyke had wandered off her
school bus at around 9 a.m. Monday,
and the precocious child spent the remainder
of the day roaming southern
Brooklyn by her lonesome, cops said.
Following her rescue, Alongi and
Boria handed the girl off to authorities,
who took the youngster to Coney
Island Hospital, where doctors
found her in good health, according
to police.
Meanwhile, investigators used
surveillance footage to retrace the
girl’s steps in a successful attempt
to uncover mom’s identity, and police
handed her off to family Monday
night, cops said.
Police are slapping both the bus
driver and a bus matron responsible
for safeguarding kids with misdemeanor
endangering the welfare
of a child charges, according to authorities.
