May 20 (UPI) -- U.S. border agents in Texas seized hundreds of thousands of fake Apple USB chargers valued at millions of dollars.
"Criminal networks are using e-commerce to ship their items to unsuspecting consumers and exploit the high volume of cargo processed by CBP," John Landry, acting area port director for U.S. Customs and Border Protection's port of Houston and Galveston, said Tuesday in a release.
Authorities did not say when the confiscation took place.
However, seaport trade enforcement agents at CBP's port in Texas announced it took at least 373,000 counterfeit USB lightning phone chargers out of some 7,460 cartons that displayed the trademarked Apple logo.
