Facing a case for illegal importation of firearms is Lucia Chicco for trying to clear a 40-foot container van, which she declared as containing used household goods and personal effects.

However, upon inspection, BoC discovered that it contained 16 assorted long barrel guns and ammunition, two revolvers, six pistols and two safety deposit boxes containing assorted ammunition.
