A press conference was held at Banglamung Police Station where Police Major General Sanit the Acting Region 2 Police Commissioner announced the results of a search and seize operation which took place at a warehouse in North Pattaya suspected of being a storage and distribution facility for counterfeit goods.
The raid was carried out with a search warrant issued by Pattaya Provincial Court. At the time of the raid the warehouse was not occupied so no one was arrested. However as was thought the warehouse contained a huge quantity of fake and counterfeited merchandise destined for the streets of Pattaya.
Seized in the raid were: A total of 1,042 counterfeit branded items with an estimated retail value of 800,000 Baht. There were many Counterfeit Samsung Mobile Phone Covers as well as goods with Brands such as Adidas and Camel.
Tourists visiting Pattaya can now breathe a sigh of relief that they won't be tempted with fake brand name souvenirs and will be happy to pay thousands of Baht more for the real thing.
