US Customs and Border Protection agents at Chicago O'Hare airport seized over 700 fake IDs hidden in bags and toys this month.
"Counterfeit driver's licenses are used by young adults who have not yet reached the legal drinking age," said Shane Campbell, area port director-Chicago."Not to mention the criminal consequences, CBP's interception of these IDs significantly reduces the chances for alcohol to be purchased by underage individuals and hopefully reduces the consequences of their actions, including deadly accidents."Most of the shipments came from China, officials said.
CBP routinely inspects arriving and departing international flights and intercepts narcotics, weapons, currency, prohibited agriculture products, counterfeit goods and other illicit items at 328 international ports of entry, according to customs officials.
