$30 Million In Counterfeit Goods Seized In Lawrence Flea Market Raid
BOSTON (AP) — A recent flea market raid racked up more than $30 million in knock-off apparel and electronics, making it the largest counterfeit bust in Massachusetts, authorities said.
Authorities confiscated enough fake designer purses, clothing and pirated DVDs and CDs from two flea markets on May 10 to fill three tractor trailers, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday.
Local businesses told police in January that illegal items were being sold at the flea markets, which have been open for years, said Lawrence interim Police Chief James Fitzpatrick.
“We didn’t expect it to be this wide-ranging,” he said. “We expected a couple dozen vendors, but I think they were ramping up for Mother’s Day.”
