New York City seizes 46 ice cream trucks
In a crackdown named "Operation Meltdown", New York City authorities have seized 46 ice cream trucks with unpaid fines.
To get away with not paying fines, the release said, the operators created dozens of "shell" companies and systematically re-registered trucks at the Department of Motor Vehicles under the names of different corporations. By the time the city's finance department would try to collect on a debt, there would be no trace of the offending company, according to the news release.
