2024.10.11 A 41-year-old woman from China pleaded guilty to attempting to smuggle 29 protected eastern box turtles from Vermont into Canada
Woman admits to felony charge in turtle smuggling case
Wan Yee Ng, charged with trying to smuggle 29 turtles into Canada, entered a guilty plea Friday in federal court in Burlington. She is set to be sentenced in December.
BURLINGTON — A woman from Hong Kong has pleaded guilty in Vermont to a felony charge of trying to smuggle 29 protected turtles from the United States into Canada.
Wan Yee Ng, 41, entered the guilty plea Friday in U.S. District Court in Burlington to a single count of attempting to smuggle eastern box turtles, a protected wildlife species, across a lake from Vermont to Canada for the illegal global pet market.
Ng is set to be sentenced Dec. 13.
She has been held in custody since her arrest in June and will remain in custody pending her sentencing.
As part of a plea deal, Ng faces up to 10 years in prison. The actual sentence will be handed down by Judge Christina Reiss after considering the advisory federal sentencing guidelines.
In determining the sentencing guideline that applies in the case, Ng agreed that the fair market value of the 29 turtles totals more than $40,000, based on a $2,000 value for each, according to court filings.
Ng, through a Cantonese interpreter, told Reiss during Friday’s hearing that she understood she was giving up her right to a trial by entering into the plea deal.
According to the case against Ng as laid out in documents in support of the plea agreement, she arrived in Canaan, Vermont and checked into a rental home on Lake Wallace, a body of water that is bisected by the U.S.-Canada border.
Ng had caught the attention of law enforcement, court records stated, because she had rented the same property through Airbnb on Jackson Lodge Road in Canaan — a site of human smuggling “and other illegal activities” — several times.
On the morning of June 26, the documents stated, Ng began to prepare an inflatable kayak near the water’s edge and was seen by law enforcement carrying a duffel bag from the rental property to the kayak.
At the same time, the filing stated, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported to U.S. authorities that another person, described only in the court documents as a “co-conspirator,” was paddling toward the middle of the lake from the Canadian side.
“Law enforcement intercepted Wan Yee Ng as she prepared to paddle across Lake Wallace with the duffel bag,” the plea agreement stated.
Inside her seized duffel bag, the filing stated, authorities found 29 eastern box turtles “individually wrapped in socks for transport.”
Ng, according to the plea agreement, did not obtain the required permits to export the turtles to Canada.
“These animals are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora,” an international agreement to protect fish, wildlife and plants that are or may become threatened or extinct, court records stated.
“The eastern box turtle is a subspecies of the common box turtle and is native to forested regions of the eastern United States with some isolated populations in the Midwest,” according to federal prosecutors. “Turtles with colorful markings are especially prized in the domestic and foreign pet trade market, particularly in China and Hong Kong.”
Ng’s cell phone was also seized by authorities as part of the investigation, the plea deal stated.
The phone, according to the filing, contained communications showing that Ng was trying to smuggle the turtles into Canada so they could eventually be sold for profit in Hong Kong.
Investigators have since determined that the seized turtles had been obtained in New Jersey, according to court documents.

Woman pleads guilty to trying to smuggle 29 turtles across a Vermont lake into Canada by kayak
By The Associated Press
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A woman from China pleaded guilty on Friday to attempting to smuggle 29 eastern box turtles, a protected species, across a Vermont lake into Canada by kayak.
Wan Yee Ng, 41, was arrested on the morning of June 28 at an Airbnb in Canaan as she was about to get into an inflatable kayak with a duffle bag on Lake Wallace, according to a Border Patrol agent’s affidavit filed in federal court.
Agents had been notified by Royal Canadian Mounted Police that two other people, including a man who was believed to be her husband, had started to paddle an inflatable watercraft from the Canadian side of the lake toward the United States, according to court documents.
The agents searched her heavy duffle bag and found 29 live eastern box turtles individually wrapped in socks, the affidavit states. Eastern box turtles are known to be sold on the Chinese black market for $1,000 each, the affidavit stated.
Her cellphone was seized, and a search by law enforcement found communications showing that she tried to smuggle the turtles into Canada so that they could eventually be sold for a profit in Hong Kong, according to the plea agreement. Ng, from Hong Kong, was living in Canada.
She pleaded guilty on Friday to one count of unlawfully attempting to export and send 29 eastern box turtles out of the United States, contrary to law. VTDigger first reported on the plea deal.
She is scheduled to be sentenced in December and faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

10月11日,一名來自中國的婦女承認企圖用皮畫艇將29隻受保護物種東部箱龜從美國佛蒙特州的一個湖偷運到加拿大。
根據美國邊境巡邏隊探員提交給聯邦法院的附誓書面證詞,41歲的Wan Yee Ng於6月28日上午在迦南(Canaan)的一家Airbnb中被捕,當時她正準備帶着一隻旅行袋在當地的華萊士湖上坐上一個充氣皮畫艇。
根據法庭文件,加拿大皇家騎警通知美國邊境巡邏人員說,另外兩個人,包括一名據信是她丈夫的男子,已經開始畫著充氣皮艇從湖邊的加拿大一側駛向美國。附誓書面證詞稱,特工搜查了Wan Yee Ng沉重的帆布包,發現了29隻用襪子單獨包裹的活的東部箱龜。
據悉,東部箱龜在中國黑市上的售價為每隻1000美元。根據認罪協議,她的手機被扣押,執法人員在搜查中發現了一些通信信息,顯示她試圖將這些受保護龜走私到加拿大,以便最終在香港出售獲利。
Wan Yee Ng來自香港,現居住在加拿大。周五,她承認了一項非法企圖將29隻東部箱龜出口並送出美國的罪名。她將於12月被判刑,面臨最高10年的監禁和最高25萬美元的罰款。

Scammers in the slammer for years after ripping off Apple with fake iPhone returns
Duo must also cough up $1.5M for pulling off multi-million-dollar exchange swindle
Two fraudsters will spend nearly five years behind bars each and pay a combined $1.5 million for bilking Apple out of millions of dollars worth of iPhones.
Haotian Sun, 34, a Chinese citizen living in Baltimore, Maryland, was sentenced to 57 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $1,072,200 in restitution to Apple plus a forfeiture money judgment of $53,610.
The other scammer, Pengfei Xue, 34, a Chinese citizen living in Germantown, Maryland, got 54 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and has been ordered to pay $397,800 to Apple along with a $19,890 money judgment.
According to the court documents, between June 2017 and December 2019, the two men engaged in a scheme to return fake iPhones to Apple for repair and trick the iBiz into replacing them with real ones.
The duo received shipments of inauthentic iPhones from Hong Kong at mailboxes throughout the Washington DC area. They then “returned” the fake phones, with spoofed serial numbers and/or IMEI numbers, to Apple retail stores, authorized service providers, or via the mail.
“They returned phones under the false pretense that the suspected counterfeit phones were under warranty and should be replaced due to malfunction or other reason,” according to the court documents [PDF]. “Apple, wrongly believing that the person submitting the replacement request was entitled to a replacement, responded by providing a new iPhone either in person at an Apple retail store or by shipping a new iPhone to addresses provided by the conspirators.”
In total, the two men along with two other co-conspirators, submitted more than 6,000 phony phones to Apple, costing the iThings giant more than $2.5 million in losses.
Apple did not immediately respond to The Register’s request for comment.
Sun and Xue were both convicted in February after a five-day jury trial of one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Sun was also convicted of one count of mail fraud and Xue was convicted of six counts of mail fraud.
And while their stretch in the big house will give the two plenty of time to rethink their life choices, they got off relatively easy for their multi-million-dollar scheme. The maximum term for the duo’s crimes is 20 years each.

2024.9.26 Melinda Katz announced that three men have been indicted on 41 charges including kidnapping, robbery and burglary
(OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY QUEENS COUNTY)Press Release
THREE MEN INDICTED FOR DOUGLASTON HOME INVASION BURGLARY AND KIDNAPPING
September 26, 2024
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced that three men – Jone Smith and brothers Ryan and Brandon Dash – have been indicted by a Queens grand jury on 41 charges including kidnapping, robbery and burglary. The trio allegedly strong-armed their way into a Douglaston residence last month and held a family – including children and the elderly – hostage with weapons and threats. One of the women escaped from the house with her 1-year-old child to summon police for help.
District Attorney Katz said: “As alleged, these defendants broke into a home and held a family hostage with a loaded gun, a hammer and a crowbar. A young mother courageously fled the home with her infant child to get help while her family members were bound and assaulted. This was an incredibly brazen attack that left both this family and their neighborhood in fear. I thank the members of the NYPD for quickly apprehending these defendants before anyone else could be victimized.”
Brandon Dash, 39, and Ryan Dash, 34, of 218th Street in Cambria Heights, and Jone Smith, also known as Conrad Harrigan, 47, of Cambria Heights were arraigned before Supreme Court Justice Stephanie Zaro today on a 41-count indictment jointly charging them with seven counts of kidnapping in the second degree, six counts of burglary in the first degree, three counts of robbery in the first degree, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, six counts of burglary in the second degree, five counts of robbery in the second degree, five counts of assault in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, grand larceny in the third degree, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.
If convicted of the charges, the defendants face a maximum of 25 years in prison.
The defendants were ordered to return to court on October. 21.
According to the indictment:
On August 17, 2024, between 2:15 and 3:18 a.m., three men entered the home on 247th Street in Douglaston and awakened two adults at gunpoint. The homeowners were sleeping in the room with their 1-year-old child.
The defendants, who were masked, allegedly physically restrained the occupants of the home and demanded to know the location of any money in the house. One of the defendants allegedly brandished a gun, while two others a hammer and a crowbar.
A mother and an infant child escaped the home, and a 911 call was placed to police.
The defendants allegedly took in excess of $20,000 cash from the homeowners.
Responding officers determined that three defendants, as well as four adult hostages and two children, remained inside the house. Three defendants were then seen climbing out of a window.
Police arrested the three defendants after an extensive manhunt in the vicinity of the house. Two of the hostages were taken to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
The stolen money and a loaded firearm were recovered after the arrests.
The investigation was conducted by Police Officer John Adames and other members of the 111th Precinct.
Assistant District Attorney Hugh McCann of the District Attorney’s Career Criminal Major Crimes Bureau is prosecuting the case under the supervision of Assistant District Attorneys Michael Whitney, Bureau Chief and Roni C. Piplani, Deputy Chief, and under the overall supervision of Executive Assistant District Attorney for Major Crimes Shawn Clark.
