A couple is charged with ripping off customers who paid them for fuel to heat their homes. The customers were in four states: New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.

36-year-old Paul Ceglia and 31-year-old Iasia Ceglia of Allegany County allegedly took $200,000 from customers who ordered wood pellets. The Ceglias own Allegany Pellets, based in Wellsville.

Police said the 1900 tons of pellets that were ordered were never delivered, and the couple did not refund money to the customers.

The Ceglias are charged with fraud and grand larceny.
