Last
July, agents from the Department of Homeland Security, working with
local law enforcement, seized more than two-dozen Land Rover Defenders
from owners across the United States. All had two things in common: none
was originally sold in the United States, and all were imported by
Aaron Richardet, a North Carolina man with a passion for the classic
British SUVs and a head for business. Now, nearly a year after the
forced forfeitures, Jalopnik reports that the case has been settled out
of court, and that the seized Defenders will be returned to their U.S.
owners.
These Land Rovers are free to rove the land once again.
