(WESH NEWS) – More than 10,000 assault weapons from China were recently seized by federal officers who said they were being shipped to a home in Brevard County.

The shipment was seized on May 22 at a package handling facility in Louisville, Kentucky, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

According to a statement, the officers inspected the items, which arrived from Shenzhen, China, and were headed for a residence in Melbourne.
