U.S. law enforcement agencies have recently disrupted multiple theft and counterfeit operations involving high-value goods across several states. In El Paso, Texas, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized a shipment containing approximately 1,700 counterfeit jewelry items resembling Van Cleef & Arpels’ “Alhambra” line, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) exceeding $9 million if genuine. In Los Angeles, police arrested two suspects linked to a South American theft ring responsible for stealing $4 million in goods, including $2.7 million worth of bitcoin ASIC miners from Los Angeles International Airport. Meanwhile, a stolen property trafficking ring operating across Arizona and Nevada was dismantled following a coordinated investigation by multiple law enforcement agencies. This probe was aided by a tip stemming from a March theft of drones valued at $1.2 million in Henderson, Nevada. Additionally, authorities recovered over $1.2 million in stolen items such as tequila, speakers, coffee, clothing, and shoes. Separately, reports indicate that Arizonans’ stolen personal information has been exploited in a large-scale fraud scheme. CBP also highlighted its intellectual property enforcement efforts, reporting that in fiscal year 2024 it seized over 32 million counterfeit items valued at more than $5 billion due to intellectual property violations.
