Hundreds of apocryphal or ‘pirate’ luxury items were seized by the New York police on the streets of Manhattan.
The authorities reported that they carried out a raid on September 6 along Canal Street, famous for the sale of these products.
On his Twitter account, John Chell, chief of police patrols, indicated that the operation was carried out after complaints from businesses and passers-by.
“After receiving numerous complaints, the operation was carried out where some $35 million in contraband products were seized on Canal Street,” he reported.
In addition, 18 people were arrested for selling them.
In total, authorities filled about three trucks with merchandise.
In the videos shared by the authorities, it is observed that most of the merchandise was imitation luxury brand bags, glasses and wallets.
