TOPPENISH, Wash. — Vendors selling DVDs at a flea market in Toppenish had their enterprise disrupted over the Memorial Day weekend.

The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office received information Friday from an investigator with the Motion Picture Association of America about “the possible sales of counterfeit/pirated DVDs at the flea market in Toppenish,” according to a news release issued Tuesday afternoon.

A sheriff’s detective went to the flea market Saturday and saw several vendors “selling what were obviously counterfeit/pirated DVDs,” the release said.

When other officers arrived, the people working at the DVD stands ran off, and deputies seized more than 18,000 videos with a value of more than $90,000, according to the news release.
