💨 Abstract

Over 13,000 fake luxury items, worth over R19 million, were seized in Bloemfontein, and six foreign nationals were arrested during joint police operations aimed at disrupting the illicit trade. The operations, led by the SAPS National Counterfeit Goods Unit, targeted multiple storefronts, recovering clothing, bags, shoes, and jewelry that imitated high-end brands.
