Clothes with 'luxury' labels and dodgy vapes are among £14 MILLION-worth of counterfeit goods seized in a huge Greater Manchester raid. Officers have been steadfast in tackling the 'grey market' in Strangeways and Cheetham Hill since last autumn.
But the counterfeit trade is not confined to just one corner of Manchester. This week, Greater Manchester Police has dismantled a massive warehouse in Rochdale, where a major counterfeiting operation was taking place.
Rochdale neighbourhood officers came across the online counterfeit distribution site, in Woodbine Street, on Monday (June 26). Inside they discovered an office, preparation area and two large storerooms with shelving stretching from floor to ceiling.
