R5m in counterfeit goods seized in Durban Central

KwaZulu-Natal police have seized R5m worth of counterfeit goods, during an operation in the Durban Central area on Friday.

“The operation was preceded by months of intensive intelligence gathering as well as meticulous investigations by detectives. After sufficient intelligence had been gathered a search and seizure warrant was applied for,” explained provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker. The joint operation saw representatives from the Directorate of Priority Crimes Investigations, Provincial Crime Intelligence, Provincial Commercial Crime Unit, Durban Central Detectives, Durban Central Vispol, Public Order Police, Tactical Response Team, Police Emergency Services, K9 Unit, Metro Police, Home Affairs, Brand Representatives and South African Health Products Regulatory Authority executing search warrants at three boutique clothing stores.

These resulted in the confiscation of clothing under brands such as as G-Star, Diesel, Hugo Boss, Puma and Christian Louboutin. Another three stores were searched and Schedule 4 and unregistered lotions were seized, with a value of R33 000. Five people were arrested during the bust, with a sixth person charged for being an undocumented foreigner, says Naicker.

Our police is going to have a party because there is no tracking on the good seized

They last time I checked they used to help themselves from the very goods they confiscated

I can now believe that the law enforcement agency are hard at work and we can win this war if they can carry on working like this

The other 25m worth of goods are still out there 😂🤣🤣🤣😱😠
