No let up against Counterfeit Street as cops find hooky clothes branding factory
A factory set up to add brand logos to fake clothing has been uncovered. The strike by police and trading standards officers is the latest in an all out war against Manchester's infamous Counterfeit Street.
Yesterday, officers from City of London Police’s Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit and GMP’s Operation Vulcan carried out a warrant on an industrial premises near Empress House, on Peel Lane off Cheetham Hill Road and uncovered a large factory set up to add labels to counterfeit clothing before being sold in illegitimate shops across Cheetham Hill and Strangeways.
Detective Sergeant Matt Donnelly, one of Operation Vulcan’s specialist officers said: “Counterfeit goods are not a victimless crime, and whilst the low price of these items can be appealing, they are contributing to a much wider picture that involves money laundering, cheap labour, and exploitation.
