Felony Charges of Receiving Stolen Property Against Pet Grooming Facility Owner do Not Issue After Clerk Magistrate Hearing
Our client owns a pet grooming facility in the greater Boston area. Several months ago her husband “found” a motorized bicycle. He put on add on a social media app listing the item for sale. The owner of the bicycle was searching online for a replacement and noticed her bike listed for sale. Several markings on the motorized led her to believe that this was her vehicle. She contacted the police who set up a sting operation. They posed as a buyer responding to the listing. Our client delivered the bike to them and was charged with receiving stolen property under G.L. c. 266 section 60. This is a felony in Massachusetts. Fortunately for the woman she was given a clerk magistrate hearing. We were retained to represent her. The clerk decided not to issue the complaint.
