pounds 2m haul of fakes

0 Comments | Sunday Mirror, Dec 3, 2006

FAKE Manchester United and Chelsea watches worth pounds 2.5million have been seized by Customs.

Counterfeit Arsenal and Liverpool pieces were also in the huge load seized at Felixstowe, Suffolk.

It is the second consignment of dodgy watches found at Felixstowe in the last few weeks. The latest arrived in a container from China, heading for the Christmas markets in London. Other fakes included Rolex, Armani, Omega and Playboy.

Customs spokesman Kevin Sayer said: "This threatens the income of honest traders by undercutting their prices."
