Officer Scarlett Hernandez, who is also a spokeswoman for the police department, confirmed that the suspect, Osniel Lezcano Blanco, 38, was arrested Tuesday near East Fourth Avenue and 58th Street.
According to Hernandez, Blanco was captured on video around 12:30 p.m. June 6 driving a 2022 Isuzu truck, with an illegal homemade trailer attached to it, in a known dumping area.
“On the CCTV it clearly shows that while Blanco was driving, another male was seen unloading items from the trailer onto the ground,” Hernandez said in an email to Local 10 News.
Hernandez said after his arrest, Blanco “provided a full confession to the crime.”
He was arrested on a charge of violating Florida’s Litter Law and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
Blanco was no longer appearing in the jail database as of Wednesday afternoon.
Anyone with information about the second person seen in the video is asked to call the Hialeah Police Department or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
