U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers have discovered and seized three firearms and more than 200 rounds of ammunition from a shipping container destined for Liberia. The container, originating from a Minneapolis suburb, was officially declared to carry three vehicles and household goods. This is the second time this year that military-grade weapons have been shipped to Liberia. In the recent bust that was intercepted, CBP officers undertook a routine inspection of the container’s contents, revealing the alarming discovery. In June, CBP officers seized 35 magazines, four Kevlar helmets, four antenna communication matching units, and three vehicle taillights in a shipment from Lenoir County, North Carolina, heading to Brno, Czech Republic.
