£4m in fake goods seized at East Midlands Airport
08.06.10
Counterfeit goods with an estimated street value of £4m were seized from East Midlands Airport last year, double the previous year. Imitation hair straighteners and computer games were among the most common finds in the haul, customs officials said.
The UK Border Agency said the goods were often dangerous and the proceeds can fuel organised crime. The agency said most of the counterfeit good were intended to be sold through internet auction sites or at car boot sales. They warned the public if the price of a designer item seemed too good to be true, it probably was.
