A TOTAL of £1.7m worth of fake goods such as clothes, electrical items and fireworks have been seized by a fraud unit in the north west.
And today, officers from the North West Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit carried out five more warrants for Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) offences.
This led to two arrests, the seizure of electrical items, cash and counterfeit goods.
The addresses have not been named.
The unit, which has been up and running for a few months, has now seized £1.7m of worth of fake goods.
The raids come after The City of London Police, the lead force for fraud, teamed up with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit to set up the North West Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit.
