HERALD SQUARE, Manhattan (WABC) — A beauty and cosmetics store in Manhattan was closed Wednesday for allegedly selling stolen items.
Rehana’s Cosmetics, located near Macy’s in Herald Square, was allegedly selling products stolen from Macy’s, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade and other retailers.
Investigators say the establishment possessed more than $1 million in stolen merchandise and that the store was a well-known destination for stolen goods.
More than $200,000 in goods were stolen from Macy’s alone, authorities said.
When police executed a search warrant at the store and two of its storage units, investigators found cosmetics, beauty supplies, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, electronic grooming devices, clothing, designer handbags, backpacks, toys, kitchen utensils and appliances. Lego sets, coffee makers and vacuum cleaners.
It was enough stolen property to fill 450 cardboard boxes, authorities say.
Bibi Rehana Khan, 54, and Aaron Khan, 40, are charged with multiple counts of criminal possession of stolen property.
