    Imean Shaheed was working last Sunday when federal agents rushed into the Patapsco Flea Market, announced over the loudspeaker that the bazaar was closed for business and shut down vendors selling  Cheap Louis Vuitton Handbags and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.”It was like the movies,” the 20-year-old Shaheed said Saturday after the Cherry Hill flea market re-opened.
