Raleigh, NC -- A recent raid on a Lexington warehouse and wholesale store found what authorities call "huge" amounts of allegedly counterfeit trademark goods, illegal switchblade knives and illegal aliens from China.
According to the North Carolina Secretary of State's office, the raid was conducted after a trademarks enforcement investigator canvassed the operation.
Given the mix of allegedly fake products, dangerous weapons and illegal immigrants all in one location, NC Secretary of State Elaine Marshall said the results of the raid "should be deeply disturbing to the people of North Carolina."
"We say to the public over and over that counterfeit products are a threat to our society because they do feed into a greater criminal culture," Marshall said in a news release.
The raid took place on Thursday at the X.R. Inc. warehouse store located on Anna Lewis Drive in Lexington.
Some 22,000 of the knives were seized by federal officials as illegally imported switchblade knives.
Federal ICE agents also arrested three Chinese aliens for failure to have proper identification or paperwork to be in the United States.
The Secretary of State's office seized thousands of pieces of what are believed to be fake brand-name merchandise, such as counterfeit Disney, Spiderman, Harley-Davidson, UNC, Gucci, Ford, and Orange County Choppers products.
The estimated retail value of the knives and merchandise seized in the raid is close to $800,000.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

THIS is MY town. I was FLOORED when I found out that it was illegal CHINESE. I kept reading the article the other day just KNOWING that it was illegal MEXICANS since we have an abundance of those here but I really haven't noticed a problem with CHINESE here. VERY BAD.

Maybe the Chinese are finding out how easy it is to break our immigration laws
