Penarth man ordered to repay £130,000 after selling counterfeit goods A PENARTH man has been ordered to pay back £130,000 after being found guilty of selling unsafe cosmetics, counterfeit goods and jewellery breaching hallmarking requirements. Sean Payter was convicted in 2019 following a Trading Standards investigation for the Vale of Glamorgan Council and today faced a Proceeds of Crime Hearing. There the judge decided he must repay a significant sum gained from his illegal activity over the next three months. Shared Regulatory Services (SRS), who undertake trading standards work across the Local Authority areas of Bridgend, Cardiff and the Vale, began investigating Mr Payter after receiving a complaint from the Assay Office, the body responsible for testing and hallmarking precious metals.
