The Dept. of Homeland Security, along with local law enforcement, raided a flea market this past weekend near Lawrence, Mass., arresting 40 people for selling counterfeit goods.
Since when is DHS suppose to be raiding flea markets? Aren’t they suppose to be tracking down terrorists? Oh wait, that’s what the Muslim Brotherhood organization considers Americans to be.
LAWRENCE — Police, joined by agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, arrested 40 people for selling counterfeit items at two flea markets yesterday.
“This is an effort to support local, legitimate businesses who have complained of these individuals selling bogus merchandise,” Interim Lawrence Police Chief James Fitzpatrick said of the sweep last night.
“Over the course of several months, we targeted individual selling counterfeit goods and counterfeit intellectual property. Our investigation culminated with the arrests of over 40 people involved in selling these illicit items,” he said. “In recent history, I believe this is probably the largest raid in Massachusetts involving counterfeit goods.”
The raids began at about 11 a.m. yesterday and lasted through late afternoon. The raids took place at Don Flea Market at 85 Manchester St., and Lawrence Flea Market and Auction House at 468 N. Canal St, near the Falls Bridge, according to Fitzpatrick. The Police Department used several vans, some of them loaned by the Essex County Sheriff’s Department, to transport the defendants to the Lawrence Police Department, where they were being booked last night.
Fitzpatrick said he believed that most of those charged were from out of town.
“The Department of Homeland Security was the lead with Lawrence Police Department,” said Carrie Kimball-Monahan, spokeswoman for Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett’s office.
“We were part of the investigation and we will prosecute,” she said.
Police referred all comments on the raid to federal authorities. Calls to the U.S. Attorney’s office and Homeland Security were not returned.
Fitzpatrick said federal agents planned to wait until tomorrow before issuing a press release about yesterday’s raids.
“There’s a great deal of evidence that needs to be cataloged,” Fitzpatrick said of the items seized. Some of the counterfeit items sold were fake lines of clothing, he said.
instead of coyotes hiding at borders letting in herion and meth 2 destroy our kids their in la la land, they work for us{USA-people} i given them new fukn orders
WTF ever happened to “CAVIOT EMPTOR”. ( let the beer beware ) Are people that stupid that they can not discern the difference.
They are not talking flea markets with weekend sales. They are talking about basically sidewalk stores claiming to be flea markets. These are the people who are making a ND selling the knock off Gucci and Louis Vuitton bags. You should google about the knock offs and eat damage it does from the children making them to the place the money ends up. It’s really interesting. So no they are not going to flea markets or like we say rummage sales.
It shouldn’t have been the DHS, it should have been the Dept. of Immigrants.
Obama is importing terrorists by the hundreds and these assholes are worried about counterfeit clothing ???? Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!! :0
Treason for obumba. Treason.Take back our country.
Good thing DHS has their priorities straight. One of the Obama girls probably bought a f**e shirt on eBay and now there is going to be a crack down.
