Counterfeit goods seized after searches
PSNI Detective Inspector Natalie McNally said: “During the operation, approximately 9,500 counterfeit products including phone batteries and chargers, headphones and various technology accessories were seized.
“Buying cheap counterfeit goods, which may initially appear to a bargain, puts jobs at risk, can be unsafe and there is also a wealth of evidence that shows money made from the sale of counterfeit goods is used to fund other forms of crime, so there really is no such thing as victimless crime. We all end up paying the price.”

Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.”
