Opinion
June 9, 1986
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Goodman, J.).
Judgment affirmed and matter remitted to the County Court, Nassau County, for further proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50 (5).
The evidence was sufficient to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt of every element of the crime charged (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620).
The trial court did not err in charging the jury with the presumption set forth in Penal Law § 165.55 (2) since the presumption was presented as permissive and there was sufficient evidence to support the inference that the defendant was in the business of buying and selling automobile parts (see, People v Oakley, 95 A.D.2d 944).
The defendant's claim that testimony about a missing vehicle identification number plate constituted prejudicial introduction of evidence of uncharged crimes is without merit (see, People v Castro, 65 N.Y.2d 683; People v. Wood, 94 A.D.2d 849). Mangano, J.P., Gibbons, Kooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
