106TH PRECINCT
SOUTH QUEENS
OZONE PARK AUNT
CHARGED WITH
KIDNAPPING
An Ozone Park woman faces kidnapping
charges for allegedly taking
off with her 1-year-old nephew aft er
refusing to turn him over to foster
care, law enforcement sources said.
Little Zayden Montero had been previously
seen with his biological aunt,
Darlene Melo, in her home on Albert
Road near Tahoe Street at 10 a.m. on
the morning of June 16. Montero had
been left in Melo’s temporary care.
Along with finding Montero, an
NYPD source said that cops also took
Melo into custody.
On June 19, a court ordered that
Melo surrender Montero to the New
York Foundling Foster Care agency.
According to a source familiar with
the investigation, the order was issued
aft er Melo allegedly admitted to using
narcotics.
The source went on to note that Melo
made arrangements with the Administration
for Children’s Services (ACS)
to surrender Montero into the custody
of New York Foundling Foster Care on
June 21. However, when representatives
went to Melo’s home on that day, both she
and Montero were nowhere to be found.
Sources said ACS officials made
repeated attempts to contact Melo
by phone, but none of the calls were
answered or returned.
Melo was charged with kidnapping,
acting in a manner injurious to a child,
unlawful imprisonment and criminal
contempt; she was released following
her arraignment and is due to return to
court on Sept. 15.
WOODHAVEN ATM THIEF
PAYS FOR CRIMES
A Miami man was sentenced
on June 26 aft er being convicted
of forcibly removing ATMs from
a Woodhaven laundromat and a
Brooklyn fast food chain in 2015 and
later lying to a grand jury about it.
Kenny Gonzalez, 47, was convicted
of three counts of third degree
grand larceny, two counts of possession
of burglar’s tools, one count
of criminal mischief and one count
of fi rst-degree perjury. He was sentenced
to 3 2/3 years to 11 years in
prison to run consecutively.
According to trial testimony, at
10:22 p.m. on June 30, 2015, Gonzalez
and another man walked into
a Checkers restaurant, located at
11-46 Liberty Ave. They used a
hand truck to forcibly remove the
restaurant’s ATM, which contained
$5,000 in cash.
Earlier that day, at 9:05 p.m., Gonzalez
and two other men entered the
S&M Quality Laundry, located at 74-
36 Jamaica Ave., with a hand truck
and forcibly removed the ATM at
that location.
Queens Supreme Court Justice
Kenneth Holder, who presided at
trial, stated that it is usual to have
a fi rst-degree perjury charge given
the crimes, but despite the shameless
actions of the crimes, it is important
to remember the “bold and
brazen perjury” was not only in the
grand jury but before the trial jury.
