Police have impounded about 6,0000 fake brand-name items so far at their office.

I feel bad for those ladies who shell off tons of money for fake Hermes. Authentic and fake louis vuitton's aren't really hard to notice.

No mention of where these counterfeit brand-name products were made. If brought in from another country then how did it get thru customs?

Is that 6,000 or 60,000? A Typo? Thepro, quite a few are. My wife used to work for Gucci and LV and she sees some everyday. They are not hard to spot really for people that know LV. There are some really good copies out there that pass as authentic without a really good look.
