A number of shops across Scotland have been raided and found to be selling fake Apple products including AirPods.
Trading Standards Officers, alongside security staff from Apple, targeted the stores after tip-offs from disgruntled customers.
A number of local punters bought the fake Apple products believing them to be genuine, and reported the shops to Trading Standards bosses.
Officers from across Glasgow, Renfrewshire and North Lanarkshire joined forces during the operation on Tuesday April 26.
Six shops were visited across all three areas by Trading Standards staff with product security representatives acting for Apple there to test the dodgy electronic equipment.
The raids resulted in the recovery of a huge amount of Apple branded products including AirPods, charging cables and iPhone cases.
All the recovered products will now be examined by Apple security staff and a range of enforcement outcomes will be considered.
The shops now face a worrisome wait as Trading Standards decide whether to impose fine, or apply to the Court of Session or the Sheriff Court for an enforcement order.
A statement from Trading Standards said: "This type of action is aimed at protecting consumers by preventing the sale of counterfeit, and possibly unsafe products, throughout Scotland."

Angus Finney Just as George Banks, Mary Poppins’ bowler-hatted boss sang nearly 60 years ago, bankers demand “precision” when they go to work. Without “order” there’s a danger of “chaos and moral disintegration … and a ghastly mess.” Well sung, given that the world today faces existential “disorder” as media and entertainment bank-ers wind their way to the 75th Cannes Film Festival.The past 15 years have already thrown outsized curve balls of their own at bankers and second-tier financiers, including the financial crisis of 2008-09, when the Masters of the Universe suffered from a Marvel-scale crisis — leading to a plethora of bank media and entertainment loan books being closed — and giving rise to a host of second tier financing operations.
