Dozens of Big Apple vehicles with fake paper license plates were impounded Friday morning as the city cracks down bogus temporary tags, officials said.
New York City Sheriff’s deputies seized 53 vehicles that were parked on city streets and issued another 50 summonses for various parking and traffic violations, according to NYC Sheriff Joseph Fucito.
The crackdown in various Queens neighborhoods, including Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village, Ridgewood, Woodhaven, and Woodside, was run with the help of the feds, New Jersey and Pennsylvania state police, as well as the San Antonio Police Department.
Deputies have charged 16 people for illegal plates, confiscated 185 vehicles and issued hundreds of tickets over the last two months, Fucito said.
