Police found fake Canada Goose jackets, Nike trainers and Tiffany jewellery.

Counterfeit goods worth an estimated £100,000 were seized from traders operating at Furnace End market on the 28th November 2021.

Warwickshire County Council Trading Standards and Warwickshire Police think that the value of the goods if they were genuine, would be more than £1 million. 

Over 6,600 fake branded products were seized during the day including Canada Goose jackets, Ted Baker bags and purses, Ugg hats and gloves and Tiffany jewellery.

Warwickshire County Councillor Andy Crump, Portfolio Holder for Community Safety said: “Many knock-off products, especially beauty goods, jewellery and electronics can be dangerous, whilst the sale of all counterfeits hurts local retailers and the wider economy.”

“We will continue to work with the Police and others to tackle the sale of fake goods.”

Investigations are continuing into the fake goods and more raids are planned for the future.
