(A) After notice and hearing, the Chief of Police may suspend or revoke a license upon a finding that:
(1) The pawnbroker, either knowingly or without the exercise of due care to prevent the same, has violated this chapter;
(2) A fact or condition exists which, if it had existed or been known at the time of the original application for a license, would have justified the refusal to issue a license;
(3) The licensee has aided, abetted or conspired with an individual or person to circumvent or violate the requirements of this chapter; or
(4) The licensee or a legal or beneficial owner of the license has been convicted of a crime that the Chief of Police finds directly relates to the duties and responsibilities of the occupation of a pawnbroker.
(B) The Chief of Police may reinstate a suspended license or issue a new license to a person whose license has been revoked if no fact or condition then exists which would have justified the refusal to originally issue a license.
