Two held for possession of counterfeit goods
Two men have been arrested after they were found in possession of boxes containing counterfeit tracksuits, Gauteng police said on Thursday.
"Police received a tip-off that counterfeit goods had arrived illegally from abroad at a house in Mondeor," said Lieutenant Kay Makhubela.
Police found boxes containing tracksuits bearing colours and logos of various soccer teams, including Spanish club Barcelona, and Kaizer Chiefs.
The goods were estimated to be worth millions of rand, said Makhubela.
The two men, Algerian and Moroccan nationals, were charged with possession of counterfeit goods.
They are expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court soon.
