NEW ALBANY —
The Indiana State Excise Police officers executed a search warrant at a New Albany store Tuesday afternoon and recovered $65,059 in cash and various documents, 84 pairs of counterfeit Nike shoes and seven counterfeit NBA hats.
The items and money were taken from Zack’s Food Mart, 1223 Bono Road.
Officers worked with Nike’s North America Brand Protection unit over the past week on their investigation, according to a press release from the Indiana State Excise Police.
“Often the regulatory responsibilities of the state excise police lead to other types of suspected criminal activities,” Superintendent Matt Strittmatter said in the release. “Our officers will continue to investigate thoroughly any suspected criminal activities that they uncover during their routine inspections of alcohol and tobacco businesses.”
Indiana State Excise Police officers are the enforcement division of the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission. While excise officers have the authority to enforce any state law, they focus primarily on alcohol, tobacco and related violations.
