Framingham Man Indicted For Car Inspection Fraud
The owner of a Framingham auto repair shop has been indicted for issuing state inspection stickers for vehicles that shouldn't have passed their inspections.
Samuel Bicalho, 22, allegedly charged extra money for the faked stickers, which he sold at ZE Carlos Auto Repair on Howard Street, or at a nearby restaurant, at least four times, according to Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley's office. Authorities say he conducted tests on a different car and used the results to issue passing inspection stickers. He has been indicted for four counts of improperly issuing state inspection stickers and eight counts of violating Massachusetts Clean Air Act regulations.
The Massachusetts Environmental Crimes Strike Force, a partnership of the Attorney General's Office and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, investigated the case.
