Digna Cueto knew exactly what she was leaving behind: two decades of corporate retail success, executive positions at well-known fashion brands, and the security of an established career. What she didn’t know was how her bold decision to strike out as a small business owner and open an ATAX tax preparation franchise in Woodside, NY, in 2018 would transform not just her professional trajectory but her community. 

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst and Transit District 20 are looking for a young man who robbed a woman at the Woodhaven Boulevard subway station near Queens Center Mall on the night of Friday, Jan. 5.

The 48-year-old victim was standing on the Manhattan-bound R train platform at 8 p.m. when a stranger approached and snatched her iPhone 16, which is valued at between $800 to $1,300. The victim had her Bank of America debit card and New York State identification tucked inside her cell phone. The perpetrator fled the station onto Queens Boulevard. The woman was not injured during the encounter.
