Bronx store gains popularity after selling "mystery packages" from retailers
A Bronx store has gone viral after re-selling packages from retailers like Amazon and Walmart for just $4. What's the catch? Customers don't know what's inside. TikTok video draws customers to Dollar Universe LLC As the manager of Dollar Universe LLC, Luis Almonte said the mystery is part of the fun for many shoppers. "Sometimes they told me they found a tablet, they found a phone, they found computer stuff," he said. Almonte said he buys the packages in palates from liquidation centers for vendors in Brooklyn and New Jersey. He then sells the packages for $4 each. "They have different companies. Amazon. Walmart. They are return packages," Almonte said. With packages ranging in sizes, shoppers are not only feeling what may be inside, but they're also giving things a good shake to help make their guess. After seeing a viral video about the packages on TikTok, Samone Simpson and her family decided to take a chance and see what they could find at Dollar Universe on White Plains Road. "I'm looking for something good," said Simpson. "Because I guess these package, you don't know what's in there." Hundreds of mystery packages sold each day, manager says Almonte said the mystery packages have brought in a few regular customers to his beauty supply store, with people traveling from near and far. To keep up with the demand, he shared the store is constantly restocking the bins with new surprises. "We sell plenty packages. More than 500 every day," Almonte said. When asked about the packages, Amazon stated majority of items returned to Amazon are resold as "new" or "used," returned to suppliers and sellers or donated. In some instances, returns that cannot be resold via other channels are sold to third party liquidators. Amazon and Walmart stated personal information is removed from packages before going to liquidators. You can email Erica with Bronx story ideas by CLICKING HERE.

Marines detain first civilian as radical leftists plan 'defiance' against Trump
The U.S. Marines detained their first civilian protester in Los Angeles Friday, U.S. defense officials told Fox News. The civilian, who has not yet been identified, was temporarily detained and handed over to law enforcement, according to authorities. Marines arrived in the city Friday after training for days for potential encounters with protesters. A U.S. official told Fox News Title 10 forces can temporarily detain individuals and transfer them to law enforcement. "'Temporary detainment' is different than an arrest," the official said. "The Marines are not allowed to use handcuffs or zip ties to detain any individuals. They use an arm hold to escort the person to law enforcement, who will then decide what to do with the individual." An official with the United States Northern Command (U.S. NORTHCOM) said any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel. The arrest was made as law enforcement gears up for planned nationwide protests against the Trump administration Saturday. Organized by No Kings, protesters will gather for a "nationwide day of defiance" in thousands of cities across the U.S. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like," the organization wrote on its website. "The flag doesn't belong to President Trump. It belongs to us. We're not watching history happen. We're making it." Los Angeles authorities said they have increased patrols and are prepared for potential escalations.
