A Long Island man busted in Queens for selling stolen motorcycles and drugs, has been charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal possession of stolen property following a long-term investigation where the defendant sold nearly a dozen stolen motorcycles as well as cocaine, to undercover detectives between June 2017 and April 2018.
Randall Singh, 32, of Hapsburg Place in Hempstead, awaiting arraignment on two complaints charging him with first- and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
Between June 2017 and April 2018 Singh arranged meetings in Queens with a buyer to sell various stolen motorcycles and cocaine. Singh didn’t know the buyer was an undercover detective and money was exchanged for drugs and stolen bikes.
All the motorcycles were sold without ignition keys and in many instances the ignitions had been manipulated either with a screwdriver or rewired to enable the engines to start. An additional complaint from on September 6, 2017, states that the defendant met with a buyer and exchanged a bag of cocaine for cash. Then on September 26, 2017, the defendant again allegedly sold to the same buyer, a bag of cocaine for $4,000 as well as a stolen red Honda CBR motorcycle for $2700.
According to DA Brown, “The defendant in this case is charged with dealing drugs as well as stolen motorcycles. As a result of a long-term investigation by the New York City Police Department’s Auto Crime Division and my office’s Organized Crime and Rackets Bureau, this individual is now out of business and facing a lengthy term of incarceration for these alleged crimes. This case should serve as a warning to drug dealers and anyone else who barters in stolen goods that law enforcement is coming for you.”
If convicted, the defendant faces between 8 and 20 years in prison.
