Man caught on surveillance cameras dumping garbage in Hialeah – NBC 6 South Florida

A man who police say was caught on video illegally dumping trash on the street in Hialeah has been arrested.

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

Surveillance cameras captured Blanco driving a truck with an illegally made trailer and dumping garbage on the ground with another man, including a mattress, police said.

According to police, Blanco uses the truck for business purposes and collects and disposes of unwanted items in exchange for money.

“We hope this serves as a message and warning not only to our residents but to anyone who visits Hialeah that this is not going to be a garbage chute and there are plenty of other places where you can dispose of your trash,” said Hialeah Police Officer Scarlett Hernandez.

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