Scotland's 'King of Bling' jailed after huge haul of fake goods found in wardrobe

A bogus designer goods salesman was jailed for 15 months after his bedroom wardrobe was found stuffed with luxury watches, sunglasses, clothing and aftershave that would have been worth more than £650,000 if they hadn't been Chinese counterfeits.

Conroy Lindsay, dubbed "Scotland's King of Bling", was caught after Falkirk Council trading standards officers investigated a trader on Gumtree advertising himself as The Watch Seller. A test purchase revealed it was Lindsay, and his home was raided.

In Lindsay's bedroom cupboard, officers found 39 Rolex watches that would have been worth £15,400 each if they'd been real, which Lindsay was selling on Gumtree and Facebook for £140 each.
