$1M in counterfeit goods seized from Detroit shops

Detroit Police say they’ve confiscated nearly $1 million in counterfeit clothing and other goods that local businesses have been selling as the real thing to unsuspecting buyers.

The department will hold a press conference today to detail the knock-offs they retrieved during raids of city businesses that have been duping local shoppers with apparel labeled falsely under big-name labels like Coach, Polo, Gucci, Coogi and Ed Hardy.

Police will show confiscated items and video from recent raids as well as locations and suspects who sold the fakes at bargain prices.

The press conference will be held at 1: 30 this afternoon at a warehouse on the city’s west side.
