SILOAM SPRINGS (KFSM)- The Siloam Springs Police Department is searching for a man who has been practicing dentistry without a license on people in the area, according to a release from police.

Police are searching for Jesus Enrique Lopez-Portillo, who targeted Latino families in Siloam Springs in September 2014, the release states.

Lopez-Portillo, who called himself a “missionary dentist” but had no license to practice, performed dental services in victims’ homes at a discounted rate, according to the release. His victims then had to seek legitimate dentists to correct damage and injuries from Lopez-Portillo’s services, the release states.

Lopez-Portillo worked with a woman named Gudelia Betancourt, who drives a silver 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe with Oklahoma license plate 140JOW, according to the release.

Anyone who has information about Lopez-Portillo or Betancourt should contact Siloam Springs Police at 479-524-4118, ext. 2215. The police department is also urging victims who have not gone to police to contact them.
