Two held after fake goods found

Counterfeit DVDs were seized

Two men have been arrested after fake goods were found in County Armagh, police have said.

During a search in the Jonesborough area £40,000 worth of counterfeit drink - particularly vodka - cigarettes, DVDs and training shoes were seized.

Police officers took samples of clothing, believed to be counterfeit for further examination, during the raid on Sunday.

Two males were arrested on suspicion of having and selling fake goods.

Other items seized included material abandoned at the start of the police operation on Sunday morning, police said.

Generators and some BB guns that had been offered for sale were also seized.

The search ended at lunchtime, but police said they remained in the area until about 1500 GMT.

In a statement the police said the searches in the village, its outskirts and on public roads was "part of a wider strategy to combat serious and organised crime across Northern Ireland and disrupt criminal enterprises".

While in the area police also patrolled the enclosed area known as the Jonesborough market site.

A small number of items were seized there but police said the vast majority of activity at that site was "fully legal".
