Dodgy ‘designer’ goods, worth more than £170,000 if they were genuine products, have been seized at Manchester Airport over the last month.
Among them are knock-off Gucci handbags emblazoned with the symbolic bee, £120 Nike trainers, £350 Jimmy Choos, North Face jackets, Pandora charms and Beats speakers.
They were likely on their way to Christmas stockings across the country, via car boot and community sales or potentially Strangeways - counterfeit capital of Europe.
