Undercover Operation Nets Illegal Business Operators In Miami-Dade

MIAMI – An investigation by the Miami-Dade Consumer Services Department and the Hialeah Police Department on May 20, 2010 uncovered 14 unlicensed businesses operating as movers, locksmiths and mobile mechanics. Consumer Services Department enforcement officers issued 17 citations.

The police arrested one individual, who was found to have a $10,000 bench warrant, and he was transported to the TGK Correctional Facility. Twelve others signed notices to appear in court for failing to register with the local business tax office, and two were cited for driving with suspended licenses.

The operation was carried out to ensure consumers are not taken advantage of by unlicensed, unscrupulous individuals who fail to undergo required background checks and training, and curtail business practices that create unfair competition. The cited companies and individuals were:
