DELTA (NEWS 1130) — Masks confiscated by Delta Police from people reportedly trying to sell them for a profit appear to be usable and have been donated to a good cause.

Delta police said two people were fined for trying to sell the masks in two different sting operations.

One online ad police found showed someone selling masks for $15 each, and an additional $300 “delivery fee.”

They also found a person who was selling 3,000 surgical masks for $2,200. That seller was also fined $500.
