On Thursday, Nov. 17, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney announced the indictments related to the crime ring operating out of Carlos Ulloa’s pawn shop “EZ Cash Pawn and Jewelry" in Brentwood.

Tierney said the scheme began in May of 2020, and the defendants financially benefitted from stealing people's property "for an extended period of time."

Ulloa, age 50, of Patchogue, rented a warehouse in East Patchogue where "numerous" items that were allegedly stolen were recovered, according to the report.

The DA's Office said Ulloa was charged with:

  • One count of enterprise corruption
  • One count of second-degree money laundering
  • One count of second-degree criminal possession of stolen property
  • One count of fourth-degree conspiracy

In a separate indictment, he was also charged with three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon after a stolen handgun and high-capacity magazines were located during search warrants, Tierney said.

The DA's Office said addition to Ulloa, the following individuals are also facing charges:

  • Henry Delgado, age 41, of Patchogue, who is accused of laundering the proceeds of the sale of the stolen merchandise
  • Sandra Cruz, age 23, of Patchogue, who managed the warehouse and its employees and allegedly used the warehouse to sell stolen goods for Ulloa through online websites

  • Sandra Palomino, age 45, of Brentwood, the manager of EZ Pawn and its employees

  • John Parry, age 52, of Bay Shore, an alleged “booster” for the EZ Pawn operation

  • Denisse Robles, age 33, of Patchogue, who is Ulloa's wife and was charged with fourth-degree conspiracy and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property

  • Amityville residents Samy Linares Ramirez, age 36, and his wife Blanca Patricia Menjivar Acevedo, age 28, who are accused of providing stolen high-end merchandise to be fenced by Ulloa
