Shop disguised as fast-food takeaway raided by police as four arrested

Police raided a Counterfeit Street shop 'masquerading' as a fast-food takeaway.

Four men were arrested after a counterfeit shop, disguised as a takeaway, was busted by Greater Manchester Police (GMP). The men were 'on their lunch break' yesterday (June 9) when they were disturbed by the raid, said the force.

Despite working in what appeared to be a takeaway in Bury New Road, Cheetham Hill, the men weren’t eating food made in their own business and had instead gone to another takeaway. "Besides being extremely unhygienic, the business wasn’t a fully functioning takeaway: it was a front for yet another counterfeit goods store," explained GMP.
