ANAHEIM, Calif. — As Anaheim code enforcement trucks pulled up to the city storage yard with grills, portable generators and propane tanks, scouts dispatched by street vendors were on the lookout.
Sometimes peering through binoculars, the scouts noted when the equipment, seized from unpermitted taco stands, was dropped off, so they could avoid being targets themselves, according to city documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
Last October, with taco pop-ups proliferating during the pandemic, Anaheim officials teamed up wtih Orange County health officials to step up enforcement, confiscating equipment and issuing citations.
