Manchester - Salford UK's Counterfeit Capital

[Dedworth]

Radio 5 live Investigates has found Manchester and Salford to be the biggest counterfeiting cities in the UK.

According to Trading Standards, a series of rolling raids in the rag-trade area of Manchester over seven days uncovered £2m worth of counterfeit items, such as designer clothing.

Gavin Terry, lead officer for Intellectual Property for the Trading Standards Institute, took part on a raid in Cheetham Hill, which is seen as an assembly and distribution hub for the fake goods trade throughout the UK.
