'This is the end of Counterfeit Street': Police seize huge haul of fake goods after storming shops on notorious street

It's gone 7.30am and a police officer is carving through a metal shutter in the shadow of Strangeways Prison.

Amid the hum of traffic travelling into Manchester city centre, orange sparks fly and the sound of grinding metal fills the air.

After a while, the shutter is removed and a battering ram is used to smash through the front door of a shop.
