Feuding gangs are leading cops to huge stashes of counterfeit gear. Officers went to investigate a burglary and discovered ten tonnes of fake goods. They also seized 80,000 illicit prescription drugs.
The find is the latest in a relentless drive to take-down Manchester's infamous Counterfeit Street and those that supply it with hooky clothing, perfume, and accessories.
In a statement Greater Manchester Police said: "A warrant was executed at a container yard on Kent Street, Salford. Officers were led there after an attempted break-in. In total approximately 80,000 illicit medication tablets were recovered along with around ten tonnes of counterfeit goods." The drugs were packs of diazepan and pregabalin.
