Massive raids target north of England



On behalf of TRAP, a joint operation involving Rochdale and Salford Trading Standards, Greater Manchester Police, HM Immigration Service and Lighthouse Security. A manufacturing facility in Rochdale and Wholesale Distribution Warehouse in Salford were raided simultaneously with 1000’s of counterfeit posters and 3D Images seized, infringing on the rights of international music artists, films and characters.  All was made possible by the ongoing undercover work of TRAP’s partner Surelock in initially gathering intelligence and then the complex coordination of planning and preparation. Those found at the locations will be charged and convictions sought.
