A gang that made tens of millions of pounds selling fake designer clothing has been smashed in an international police operation.
Detectives have seized thousands of items including counterfeit Versace, Armani, Gucci, Nike and adidas products, thought to have a street value of £1 million, in co-ordinated raids on lock-ups across North London.
They have also recovered almost £500,000 in cash from safety deposit boxes. The City of London Police believe the raids are one of the biggest seizures of counterfeit goods in Britain.
The men are said to have taken delivery at least once a week for the past 18 months of huge containers full of the goods, also including electrical products that had been made in Malaysia and China. These would be sold to independent shops, at markets and online.
