Do you believe this, Mn?

Here in Texas we're all about catching illegals and/or drugs crossing our borders... LOL


Counterfeit space heaters seized at ND border

PORTAL, N.D. (AP) — Federal customs officers said they seized 575 space heaters at the North Dakota border that had bogus safety markings.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency says the heaters were in a container for rail shipment. They were worth about $143,000.

Portal port director Brent Beeter says the heaters were marked with counterfeit Underwriters Laboratories markings.

Underwriters Laboratories conducts safety tests on products, and they're not certified unless they meet established standards.

Beeter said Thursday the space heaters hadn't undergone UL testing.

The heaters were seized Dec. 4. The Portal entry station is about 100 miles northwest of Minot in northwestern North Dakota.
