Under the catchily-titled ‘Operation American Stuff’, investigators noticed an increase in the illicit traffic of high-end vehicles from the United States through shipping containers.

The agents confirmed that the vehicles had been stolen in the United States, and the authorities are working together to continue the investigations.
