Queens Couple Charged in International Retail Theft Case
**Queens, NY** – Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz and Governor Kathy Hochul reported a major retail theft operation involving Christopher Guzman and Yvelisse Guzman Batista. The couple, alongside three co-defendants, is accused of selling stolen high-end makeup, perfume, and designer clothing under Yvelisse Fashion, LLC. They allegedly directed theft crews to acquire specific items and sold these in Queens and the Dominican Republic. Charges include fostering the sale of stolen goods, a new crime in New York.
DA Katz emphasized the importance of consumer caution when purchasing from unfamiliar sources as the holidays approach. The defendants reportedly sold over $2 million in stolen goods over two years through various locations. This case is noted as the first time New York’s new law against selling stolen goods has been enforced. Katz thanked Governor Hochul, New York State Police, and Homeland Security Investigations for their work on the case.
Charges against Christopher Guzman, 35, Yvelisse Guzman Batista, 29, and their associates include criminal possession of stolen property and conspiracy. They are due in court on January 15, 2025, with potential penalties of up to 25 years in prison. Tiffany Leon
