A Harrisburg car dealership owner is facing nearly 150 criminal charges following a state police investigation into alleged fraudulent sales practices. Authorities announced Tuesday that 49-year-old Khaled Yaye, owner and operator of Yeni Auto Sales on South Cameron Street, has been charged in connection with the case.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the charges stem from an investigation into business practices at the dealership. Court records show Yaye faces 144 total counts, ranging from felony offenses to misdemeanors and summary violations. The most serious charges include forgery and deceptive or fraudulent business practices. Investigators allege that some of the offenses involve substantial misrepresentation of material facts during vehicle sales, along with unprofessional conduct and the willful failure to properly display the dealership’s license as required under the Pennsylvania Board of Vehicles Act.
In addition to the felony counts, state police reported that Yaye faces more than 130 violations of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code. Those violations are tied to the improper handling, reassignment, and processing of vehicle titles connected to transactions at the dealership. Authorities have not released further specifics about how the alleged title issues were identified or how long the practices may have occurred.
Yaye was arraigned Tuesday, according to online court records. His case includes a mix of felony and lower-level charges, reflecting the scope of the investigation. He is scheduled to return to court next month as proceedings continue.
State police have not provided additional details about the investigation or whether any customers were financially impacted. The case remains active as it moves through the court system.
