Gardaí seize fake goods worth thousands of euro

GARDAÍ have warned they will continue to seize counterfeit goods following two raids in Cork that netted fake DVDs, clothing and footwear.

A garda spokesman revealed yesterday that detectives had raided a house in Fermoy, where they found sophisticated equipment for copying DVDs.

The spokesman said that following a complaint, detectives, accompanied by officials from the copyright protection agency INFACT, raided a house on the north side of the town where they seized 500 DVDs. They were described as being the best quality copies. Some were new releases, including Shrek 3.
