LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Federal officials say they confiscated fake Gucci and Louis Vuitton handbags in Louisville Thursday night.

A Customs and Border Protection officer seized two boxes of fake, high-end designer items at UPS Worldport. If they were real, the 95 items would be valued at more than $193,000.

The packages were coming from Vietnam and were heading to Westminster, California.

UPS says its network features extensive security measures designed to stop those who would misuse their services.
