The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency says it seized more than 20,000 counterfeit Pennsylvania vehicle inspection stickers that were shipped from Israel to an address in Philadelphia.

The agency said that customs officers found the stickers in two different shipments that arrived on different days, Nov. 26 and Dec. 9.

The agency didn't say in a Thursday statement who sent the stickers, who was to receive them and what purpose the stickers were going to serve.

The agency said it made no arrests.

Pennsylvania requires that motor vehicles be inspected annually to ensure they meet minimum mechanical, safety and emissions standards.
