CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents announced on Twitter that 1,620 counterfeit Nintendo Switch controllers were seized.

The controllers were seized after CBP agents inspected a shipment from Australia, which was heading to North Hills, California, according to the tweet.

The controllers would have sold for $129K, according to the agency.

Last year, the CBP says more than $162M of counterfeit consumer electronics were seized.
