EASTVALE - Two women were arrested on suspicion of violating state and local health and safety regulations during a crackdown on illegal fiestas, authorities said Monday.
Beatriz Hernandez-Garcia, 33, of Eastvale, and Silvia Coronel, 54, of La Puente, were arrested Monday morning during a sweep of unincorporated communities near Riverside by members of the Inland Valley Task Force, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
The task force conducted the operation to shut down what authorities said were unlicensed and unsanitary swap meet-type outdoor vending businesses, the sheriff's department reported.
The Sheriff's Department says such fiestas pose a health threat to the public because "food vendors (are) selling food and dairy products that have not been inspected."
Garcia was arrested on suspicion of using false documents, manufacturing and selling dairy products without a license and operating a motor vehicle without a license.
Coronel was booked on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a crime, violating probation, as well as multiple violations of the Food and Agriculture Code.
Coronel was being held in lieu of $35,000 bail. No bail information was available for Garcia. -- City News Service
