Swansea police say state pulled JTS Motors’ dealer license after investigation finding 'over 70 violations'
Summary
Police Chief Bloomberg told trustees the Secretary of State found more than 70 violations at JTS Motors, the state revoked the dealership license and the village is pursuing removal of the local business license.
At the department‑reports section of the meeting, Chief of Police Bloomberg reported that the Illinois Secretary of State investigated JTS Motors and found numerous violations. He said the state pulled the business's dealer license and that village staff were taking steps to remove the local business license.
Chief Bloomberg said, 'They did an investigation last week and found over 70 violations. They've since pulled their business license to the state of Illinois to sell cars, and I'm now working with mister Thomas to pull their business license for the village. So we've done that today. They will be out of business.'
The report was delivered during the departmental updates; no formal litigation or court outcomes were recorded in the transcript. The chief framed the action as an enforcement step to protect consumers and to ensure local licensing aligns with state action. The board recorded the report and moved on to other agenda items.
Staff follow‑ups recorded in the meeting direction instruct the police department and administration to continue coordination with state authorities and legal counsel about local licensing steps.
