TUCSON - The Tanque Verde Swap Meet was hit by Immigrations and Customs officials Saturday night.

Ray Stone, the Swap Meet Manager, tells News 4 they found several booths with counterfeit merchandise.

There were no arrests made, but officials did get information to continue their nationwide investigation.

"They were here; they did seize a few items from some vendors. It's quite uncommon, says" Stone. "This is the first time we've ever had ICE out here, we've had other investigations."

ICE says counterfeiting and piracy costs the U.S. nearly $250 billion every year.
