Man monitored illegally dumping trash in Hialeah arrested – NBC 6 South Florida

A man who police say was filmed illegally dumping trash on a Hialeah street has been arrested.

Osniel Lezcano Blanco, 38, was arrested Tuesday in connection with the June 6 incident, according to Hialeah police.

Surveillance cameras captured Blanco driving a truck with an illegal homemade trailer and, along with another man, throwing trash on the ground, including a mattress, police said.

Police say Blanco uses the truck for business purposes and collects and removes unwanted items for money.

“We hope this serves as a message and warning not only to our residents but to everyone who visits Hialeah that this will not be a trash chute and that there are many other places you can dispose of your trash” , Hialeah police said. » said Officer Scarlett Hernandez.

Blanco confessed to the crime and has since been released on bail
