BROWN COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating after residents reported receiving unsolicited packages of face masks from China through the local mail, according to the Brown County Sheriffs office.

Sheriff's office investigator Brian Guilliams contacted the United States postal inspector in Topeka.

The inspector said complaints of unsolicited face masks from China have been made across the United States. If the package has not been opened, write “RETURN TO SENDER” and take to the local post office. If the package has been opened and you did not order it, throw it away.

Officials have not been aware of anything dangerous in the face masks at this time. 

Anyone with questions should contact local law enforcement.
