Ygal Lalush, a former employee of S. Dahan Piping and Heating Corporation in Queens, New York, was arrested and charged with grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, forgery, falsifying business records, offering a false instrument for filing and scheme to defraud, for attempting to steal his employer’s business while the wife was overseas burying her husband and son.
In the event after Sara Dahan, widow of S. Dahan Piping’s owner, went to Israel to bury her husband and son, she left the company in temporary control of Lalush. Throughout Dahan’s departure, Lalush allegedly stole $30,000 from the company, changed all the locks at the business, and changed the business address to the defendant’s home address.
Lalush also purportedly created new bank accounts under S. Dahan Heating but constructed business under City Sewer Specialist while listing his home address as the company’s address.
If convicted, Lalush faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
