Federal officials said Thursday they are giving nearly 200,000 N95 respirator masks to New Jersey and New York after confiscating them from a hoarder.

The masks, along with about 600,000 medical gloves, 130,000 surgical masks and other protective equipment, were taken Monday by authorities, according to a joint statement by federal officials.

“If you are amassing critical medical equipment for the purpose of selling it at exorbitant prices, you can expect a knock at your door,” said Attorney General Bill Barr.

The Department of Health and Human Services used its authority under the wartime Defense Production Act to send the supplies to the New Jersey Department of Health, the New York State Department of Health and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

“HHS will pay the owner of the hoarded equipment pre-COVID-19 fair market value for the supplies,” according to a statement.

A federal strategic stockpile of medical supplies is nearly depleted as cases of the coronavirus surge, prompting the Trump administration to order large manufacturers to produce them under the same wartime law.

White House adviser Peter Navarro, President Trump’s designated coordinator for Defense Production Act efforts, said more redistribution may happen.

“This is the first of many such investigations that are underway,” Navarro said. “Our FBI agents and other law enforcement agencies are tracking down every tip and lead they get, and are devoting massive federal resources to this effort. All individuals and companies hoarding any of these critical supplies, or selling them at well above market prices, are hereby warned they should turn them over to local authorities or the federal government now or risk prompt seizure by the federal government.”

The hoarder was not identified in the press release, but on Monday feds arrested Brooklyn man Baruch Feldheim, 43, who allegedly hoarded supplies and resold them to desperate health care providers. Feldheim was charged with assault and making false statements after allegedly coughing on FBI agents, claiming he had COVID-19.

Last week, Feldheim allegedly received eight pallets of face masks at his Brooklyn home. A Monday raid of a Linden, NJ, warehouse found a collection initially estimated at 80,000 masks. Feldheim allegedly sold a New Jersey doctor about 1,000 N95 masks on March 18 for $12,000, about 700 percent of their pre-outbreak value.
