A Queens woman is in ICE custody after cops arrested her and another woman yesterday for allegedly shoplifting more than $1,500 worth of merchandise from a Victoria’s Secret store on Long Island earlier this year, police said.
According to detectives, around 1 p.m. on Jan. 4, Domenica Rivera Mendieta, 25, and another woman, 27, with a “small infant” in a baby carrier boosted about $1,551 worth of items from a Victoria’s Secret in Oceanside, hiding the merchandise inside a shopping bag and leaving the store without paying.
The women, who live together in Queens, were arrested yesterday and charged with grand larceny, cops said. The woman with the baby was additionally charged with child endangerment.
Mendieta and the other woman were issued desk appearance tickets for April 11 — but “further investigation” revealed that Mendieta had an outstanding warrant from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to police. She was transferred into ICE custody.
