Answer: Monitoring overseas arms shipments into Lake County, of course.

Your LakeCountyEye found this US Customs bill. The fine print says 8 shipping containers were brought into the U.S. Each contained 1536 "H2A METAL BOXES", with each box containing "CARTRIDGES FOR WEAPONS INERT PROJECTILE". These were imported into the U.S. on June 3 of this year:

Supply Chain Intelligence about: Strategic Defense Imp.

The cargo was shipped from India.

The cargo was shipped to this consignee address:

• Strategic Defense Imports
• 1107 VICTORIA DRIVE
• FOX RIVER GROVE IL 60021
• U.S.A.
