Photo Video Store Seized for Failure to Pay Taxes
The seizure means the store is the property of the Commonwealth.
Two bright orange signs on the windows of Wayland's Photo Video Store inform customers that the shop has been "Seized."
According to the signs, which appear to have been posted at the direction of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, the shop has been "seized for nonpayment of taxes and is now in the possession of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."
The signs warn that anyone tampering with the property "will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law."

Editor's Note: The Massachusetts Department of Revenue considers this a civil case, not criminal, at this time. The headline, therefore, has been changed from the original.
