1.2 Million Dollars Worth of Counterfeit Jewelry Seized




Law enforcement officials dismantled a counterfeit organization operating in the Santee Alley area. Officials seized 1.2 million dollars worth of counterfeit jewelry bearing the trademarks of various world famous brand owners. The organization used a network of warehouses and storage units to store and distribute their counterfeit merchandise. 



The group had been directly importing their counterfeits from China and Korea. The counterfeit jewelry was marked "lead free" but when the jewelry was tested the reports showed they contained high levels of lead. Intellectual property enforcement actions protect both brand owners and the consuming public. Purchasing counterfeits can be very dangerous  when you don't know what's inside them!
