Fake goods worth £600,000 seized

Goods were seized at Clogher market

Counterfeit goods worth an estimated £600,000 have been seized from a County Fermanagh market, police have said.

A woman arrested in connection with the seizure has been released pending further police inquiries.

DVDs, clothes and cigarettes were among the items taken for investigation from Clogher Market on Saturday.

The PSNI's Intellectual Property Crime Unit, local detectives, the Federation of Copyright Theft and the British Phonographic Industry were involved.

Speaking after the police swooped on Saturday, Inspector Roy Robinson said the vast majority of the traders at the market are legitimate, but people needed to be made aware of counterfeit goods.

"People think they are getting a bargain, but they are not. These are substandard goods," he said.

"The victims are the people. They are hurting their neighbours next door who are working in legitimate businesses.

"No taxes are being paid on these goods. The videos are not classified."

The suspect goods were removed in several vans - all of which were packed close to full.
