Local news reports
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has arrested three men they say were involved in a counterfeit ring that could get people killed.
Investigators allege that the owner of Alpha Inc., Scott Anderson, 57, Ocoee, sold counterfeit body armor at gun shows across Florida. They believe Scott Williams, 51, Ocoee, and Arami Rodriguez, 36, Ocoee worked for Anderson and assisted in the manufacturing and selling of the fake body armor.
"These suspects sold dangerous products to unsuspecting consumers raking in large profits for themselves," said FDLE Orlando Regional Operations Center Special Agent in Charge Danny Banks.
The investigation began in August when Point Blank Enterprises, Inc. received a complaint from a customer. The customer said he purchased Point Blank body armor at a gun show in West Palm Beach that he thought was counterfeit. The manufacturer determined the armor was fake and contacted FDLE.
Ballistic tests determined the body armor provided no ballistic protection.
