Shoplifting, Fencing Operation Was Shipping Items to Cuba

Manuel Aguiar-Santana, authorities allege, had mules shoplift goods that he either fenced locally or shipped to his native Cuba. His arrest came, they said, after they caught and “turned” one of his helpers.

Aguiar-Santana, 46, charged with dealing stolen property, was booked Thursday at the Palm Beach County Jail with his bail set at $15,000. He remained jailed early Friday.

According to a Palm Springs police report, a search of Aguiar-Santana’s home uncovered 10 large garbage bags of razor cartridges, one bag of female hygiene products, two chest freezers packed with meat, and numerous containers of laundry detergent.
