Glasgow Airport passengers warned not to buy fake goods
15.10.11
Holidaymakers flying from Glasgow airport have been urged not to buy counterfeit goods abroad in a bid to crack down on serious organised crime. Officers from the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA) were at the airport to deliver the message and show people examples of fake goods.
Detective Chief Inspector Ronnie Megaughin, from the SCDEA, said: ‘The trade in fake goods is not a victimless crime; there is no such thing. It is linked to a bigger and more serious picture. We are all tempted by a bargain, but the fake goods that you see at markets at home and abroad - such as football shirts, handbags, watches and sunglasses - are being sold to raise funds for organised crime groups. In addition, many of these products are dangerous because they are produced with no regard for health and safety regulations, so you could be putting your safety at risk.'
