The not so lucky looky men

Following a month long investigation, the National Police arrested a 39 year old man in San Miguel de Salinas on Friday. In his house they found 250 boxes of fake bags, belts and wallets - copies of Tous, Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Dior, Carolina Herrera, Gucci and others' designs. Altogether there were 50,000 items destined for sale throughout the Alicante province.

This was the second horde of counterfeit goods uncovered last week. All they need to do now is find the stash of fake sunglasses and Torrevieja promenade will be a quiet place to stroll along once more.

Ultimately it is not the people selling counterfeit products but those that buy them that creates the market for fake goods.
