WASHINGTON – The U.S. Marshals Service
will sell more than 50 high-value muscle cars, sports cars, motorcycles and
jet skis via a live auction Thursday at 10 a.m. at Apple Auctioneering Co.;
14851 NW 27th Ave.; Opa-Locka, FL 33054. The vehicles may be previewed today
until 5 p.m. and Thursday from 8-10 a.m.
The vehicles were seized and forfeited to the federal government as part of
a pill mill takedown in Broward and Miami-Dade counties in 2011. Proceeds
generated from the auction will be deposited into the Department of Justice
Assets Forfeiture Fund, which is used to compensate victims, supplement law
enforcement programs and support community programs.
