The items will now be repurposed, with any suitable clothes, shoes or bags set to be donated to homeless charities. Police urged shoppers to stay away from buying fake designer clothing and not 'waste money on something that is harmful'.
Inspector Dan Cullum of Operation Vulcan at GMP, who carried out the crackdown Manchester Trading Standards and with the support of management at Smithfield Market, said: "I am pleased the joint action on Sunday has taken out yet another counterfeit operation in Manchester.
"I urge members of the public to steer clear of buying counterfeit items - at best you will waste your money on a sub-standard product, at worst you may purchase something that is harmful. Counterfeit items are unregulated, and the counterfeiters have no regard for your health and safety.
"You also don’t know what your money is funding – this is often the tip of the iceberg and the people running counterfeit operations are also often involved in far more nefarious crime from human exploitation to drugs. Please spend your hard-earned money elsewhere.”
