Gwinnett County police have arrested two men accused of practicing dentistry without a license.

Officers took Peter Kiriliuk and Yuri Aleksandruk into custody Monday in Norcross. 

Police said they received a call about a stolen vehicle possible being located in the 4200 block of Steve Reynolds Boulevard. The owner of the vehicle said he found it after seeing the car in a Craigslist ad. 

Investigators went to the Steve Reynolds location, which is where the two suspects were found. As they investigated, officers said it was clear Aleksandruk was conducting dental exams in a room; however, the stolen vehicle was not related to the fake dentistry office.

According to police, Kiriliuk did not perform dentistry, but got paid by Aleksandruk to operate out of two rooms at the location where officers arrested the men. 

Police said Aleksandruk is not licensed in the United States, but said he is overseas.
