A 49-year-old North Haven man was sentenced to 54 months in prison for his role in a large-scale scheme to resell stolen merchandise.

Paul William Muzyka operated Ace Amusements, a secondhand store at 42 Kimberly Ave. in New Haven, federal prosecutors said. Prosecutors alleged Muzyka and business partner George J. Connelly Jr. knowingly purchased stolen property from shoplifters and resold the goods for one-third of their retail prices at the New Haven store as well as online auction sites, such as eBay.

The investigation revealed that individuals who purchased stolen items at Ace Amusements made at least $1.5 million in sales on eBay from 2007 to 2016.

Muzyka was ordered to forfeit $73,1434 that was seized from him during the investigation.

Muzyka pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit the interstate transport of stolen property and one count of interstate transport of stolen property on March 16, 2016. He was ordered to report to prison on Feb. 4.

Connelly was found guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit the interstate transport of stolen property and two counts of interstate transport of stolen property on May 23. He was sentenced on Oct. 1 to 78 months of imprisonment and was ordered to forfeit an interest of $86,220 in a house he owns on Tuttle Drive in New Haven, $10,340 that was seized from his and Ace Amusements’ bank accounts, and $13,080 in cash that was seized from his person and from various locations inside Ace Amusements on Jan. 25, 2016.
