Nearly 3,000 counterfeit driver's licenses meant to be shipped to people in New York, including a convicted child rapist, were confiscated in Louisville, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protections.

Officers with CBP seized six shipments of fake IDs and discovered one shipment was intended for a person who "entices minors with alcohol and counterfeit IDs before engaging in illicit activity," according to a statement from the agency on Monday.
