A suspect will be served with a summons to appear in court pending the finalisation of criminal and civil cases against her for alleged contravention of the Counterfeit Goods Act.

Hawks spokesperson Lt-Col Philani Nkwalase said the intellectual property rights section of the Hawks, in partnership with experts from Spoor & Fisher law firm and other police units, executed a search and seizure operation on Monday. Nkwalase said the team initially conducted an investigation in Midrand into counterfeit “taxi” snuff, which led to the fully operational facility at Drieziek Extension 9 in Orange Farm.

“During the search multiple packets of counterfeit snuff, empty containers, tobacco and chemicals found were seized for further investigation.”
