Man held in Armagh counterfeit raid

Police were questioning a man today after detectives smashed a major counterfeiting operation.

Officers from the organised crime unit in Northern Ireland seized equipment and goods worth more than £200,000 (€279,300) during a search of a house in Portadown, Co Armagh.

The haul included DVD writers and copiers, video taping equipment, music CD burners and machinery which is used to make computer games.

The seizure was made following a planned operation with officers from the Craigavon District Command Unit last night.
