Fake U2, Foo Fighters and Nickelback t-shirts sold by Merseyside firm

A clothing firm flogged tens of thousands of pounds of counterfeit U2, Foo Fighters and Nickelback t-shirts.

Prescot-based T-Shirt Subway sold branded band, television show and movie tops online in breach of trademarks, continuing to do so even after receiving a cease and desist warning from Trading Standards. Pictures of goods purchased by St Helens Company from the company as part of its investigations reveal that it also offered fake Led Zeppelin, The Clash and Pink Floyd tees.

Liverpool Crown Court previously heard that the probe revealed the business had sold around £30,000 of infringing goods between May 2017 and July 2018. Officers made test purchases from its now-defunct website as part of their inquiries.
