Police seize counterfeit brand-name products in Southern Taiwan
KAOHSIUNG – More than 6,000 pieces of counterfeit brand-name clothing and footwear were seized in Tainan and Kaohsiung in police raids targeted at markets in those two cities in southern Taiwan, police said Friday. The brands include Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Nike, Addidas, Under Armour, New Balance, Hello Kitty and Doraemon.
Some of seized counterfeit articles, including sneakers and T-shirts, were put on display at an office of the Second Special Police Corps in Kaohsiung. They would have a total value of NT$5 million (US$164,100) at retails stores if they were genuine, an officer told reporters.
The counterfeits were seized from six vendors in Tainan and Kaohsiung who had been selling them at traditional markets and night markets, which often attract large numbers of tourists, said Tai Chao-tung, a captain of the Special Police Corps’ Criminal Investigation Brigade.
