A notorious rogue tree lopper has returned to business, targeting residents across the northern suburbs of Perth.

Sean Robert Weinthal has previously operated under the business name West Coast Trees, with an incident occurring in January 2017.

Executive Director of Consumer Protection Trish Blake says they have prosecuted him multiple times.

“He is just one of the repeat offenders who does not care about the law,” she said. “He will go around, he will knock on doors, or he’ll cold contact people.”

Mr Weinthal was order to pay $22,380.60 in fines in July 2020 after being convicted on appeal of breaching consumer laws in relation to unsolicited sales.

Consumer Protection says they are working on stopping Mr Weinthal.

“We are conducting an investigation again into his conduct and if we can find that there are breaches of the Australian Consumer Law again, we will not hesitate in taking further legal action.
