BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — BocaNewsNow.com has learned the arrest of Patzy Aburto on counterfeit charges stems from her alleged attempt to sell Chanel and Louis Vuitton bags on Instagram. She allegedly tried to deliver the sold merchandise at the Cumberland Farms on US 441 just south of Palmetto Park Road.
She apparently didn’t realize the buyer was an undercover detective with a huge backup team nearby.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, working with a private investigator who is often retained by Chanel and other luxury brands, initiated a purchase of luxury bags from Aburto via Instagram. A detective and undercover team followed Aburto from her home at 10020 Country Brook Road to the Cumberland Farms at 23077 State Road 7 where the take down went down mid-day Tuesday.
