Undercover Report – Case File 46-77
|
||
Agent: Ellis (cover identity)
|
||
Date: 11/08 – 11/11
|
||
|
||
Subject supervises a container‑yard subcontractor with access to high‑value import bays. Agent entered as a crane‑operator trainee assigned to night shifts. On 11/09, subject instructed the crew to reposition a forty‑footer from the manifest queue to an unnumbered slot behind the scrap pile. The container seal had a fresh dab of paint across the latch consistent with a re‑applied counterfeit seal. Yard cameras were left panning, creating reliable blind spots of twenty to thirty seconds.

||
|
||
On 11/10, the subject met with two visitors at the fence line and exchanged a clipboard without approaching the office. Agent overheard them discuss “blank HS codes” and “holiday backlog.” The conversation implies a counterfeit‑electronics shipment misdeclared to avoid inspection. Later, subject distributed burner keycards for the east pedestrian gate, instructing workers to “switch badges” if stopped.
|
||
|
||
On 11/11, a third party attempted to tip the agent to accept overtime in exchange for keeping a particular bay unsupervised. Agent declined while maintaining cover as rule‑bound but inexperienced. The subject appeared satisfied the lane would remain quiet.
|
||
|
||
Cover intact. Recommend customs partnership to flag the suspect container by serial, deploy a mobile X‑ray with minimal yard disruption, and audit badge access logs for the east gate.
|
||
Cover remains intact. Recommend continued surveillance and coordinated warrants when feasible. |
