The release states the shipment was destined to an individual in New York City.

Now that's a shame, lol...
Nice catch by CBP, but the feds should have let them be delivered, then set up a sting as potential buyers once the scumbag started selling them. I really wish they would crack down harder and start enforcing the counterfeiting/trafficking laws more here. |
