P300-M shoes, bags uncovered in Baclaran
Thousands of boxes of fake shoes and bags worth P300 million intended for online selling were uncovered in several warehouses in Baclaran Friday afternoon. The Bureau of Customs uncovered thousands of boxes of fake goods estimated to be worth P300 million in several warehouses in Baclaran, Pasay City.
Customs agents armed with five letters of authority started a series of raids on the warehouses on June 20, Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña said.
Counterfeit bags, backpacks, and shoes that imitate a popular brand were found in the warehouses located in Sunjoy Tower, Bagong Milenyo, and New Russel buildings in Baclaran.
“The operation was conducted after the Customs Enforcement and Security Services (ESS) received a tip that fake items are stored in the buildings and this was also confirmed by brand representative Lee Bumgarner Inc. (LBI), brand owner of shoe and apparel brand “Vans”, said Lapeña.
