Knockoff Handbags Stolen From Police

State Police Had Confiscated Counterfeit Goods Last Year

Someone has heisted more than 3,000 knockoff handbags, watches and sunglasses that police had confiscated, according to police.

State police had confiscated the counterfeit goods and were keeping them as evidence at a Woodbury storage facility.

Police said they are unsure when the goods were stolen. There was a forced entry into the storage bin, but it wasn't noticeable from the road, according to police. The burglary may have gone undetected for months, police said.

The goods, worth about $80,000, were seized from a local flea market last summer. In that raid, 11 people were taken into police custody.

Neighbors to the storage facility said that they haven't seen any unusual activity until last night, when officers discovered that the items had been stolen.

"I saw lots of cops here last night," said neighbor Dave Sandulli.
