HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- One man has been arrested and four more are wanted by Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's investigators, who say employees of a Jiffy Lube conducted unlawful car inspections.
The investigation revealed that over a five-day period, the employees failed to conduct state-mandated inspections on numerous vehicles.
"This type of criminal activity contributes to health threatening pollution. In addition, it affords the opportunity for unsafe vehicles to be driven on a public roadway due to not meeting the minimum safety standards," said Constable Mark Herman.
