PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Hundreds of counterfeit Phillies’ Bryce Harper jerseys have been seized by federal authorities in Philadelphia since Opening Day. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement Friday that 314 fake Harper jerseys are now in the hands of the federal government.
The jerseys were worth over $44,000.
Authorities say the jerseys arrived in six express delivery shipments from Hong Kong, with the largest shipment containing 204 Harper jerseys. The remaining shipments contained between 18 and 25 uniforms.
The jerseys were destined to addresses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware before they were seized.
