CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Clayton County car dealership accused of selling stolen cars has a long history of violations with state regulators.

Channel 2 consumer investigator Jim Strickland tipped off state investigators to the latest troubles for Cabs Auto Connection on Forest Parkway in Lake City, leading a raid at the business Wednesday.

"It actually came about from a tip we received from WSB-TV.  Everything was accurate and we were able to get on it right away," Georgia State Revenue Investigator Josh Waites said.

Strickland showed state investigators information he had obtained about a stolen Bentley suddenly registered with the dealership's temporary tag.

Strickland was there as state and local investigators arrested the dealership’s manager Austin Siampwizi.
