$250,000 Worth Of Counterfeit Major League Baseball Jerseys Seized From El Monte Shop
EL MONTE (CBSLA.com) — Counterfeit pro sports team jerseys worth about a quarter of a million dollars were seized Thursday at an El Monte tattoo-supply business.
The seizure was made after the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Counterfeit and Piracy Enforcement Team served a search warrant at TNS Tattoo Supply at 9866 Garvey Ave.
The team had spent a month investigating sales of counterfeit jerseys throughout the San Gabriel Valley area, according to Deputy Trina Schrader of the Sheriff's Information Bureau.
"A search of the location revealed approximately $250,000 worth of counterfeit jerseys with L.A. Dodgers, L.A. Rams and L.A. Angels logos printed on them," Schrader said.
One suspect was detained and questioned. But she did not say if anyone was arrested.
