LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Two Malvern residents have been accused of fraudulently selling purebred puppies to 153 victims from multiple states, receiving over $110,000 between August 2018 and November 2020.
Helda Berinyuy and Thierry Ekwelle, both 31, reportedly used websites to advertise the sale of purebred, AKC registered puppies such as French Bulldogs, Boxers, Toy Poodles, English Bulldogs, and others, when in fact they never had puppies to sell.
