Customs police uncover counterfeit goods worth 6 million Czech crowns

On Saturday, customs officers in the Moravian town of Brno uncovered counterfeit designer purses and clothes valued at about six million Czech crowns, a police spokeswoman said on Monday. Officers uncovered the fake designer goods during a routine inspection at a local market where they discovered a retail stand that was unlocked and unattended. After searching the stand, the police found a secret storage area behind a mirror where the owners had hidden the counterfeit goods. The find is one of this year’s biggest. The stand’s owners could face a fine of up to five million crowns.
