Dominic Sprague, 42, was sentenced to five years to prison Thursday. Sprague, the owner and operator of the New York Gold Diamond Pawn Shop in Greece, worked with others to steal items from stores such as Walmart and Target. These items would then be sold to the pawn shop, which resold them on eBay.
Prosecutors say Sprague worked with Amanda Reeves, Shabon Banks, Chad Lewis Jr., and pawn shop manager James Civiletti to buy and sell the goods.
Reeves, Banks, Lewis, and Civiletti were all previously convicted. Banks was sentenced to over five years in prison in November.
