Gauteng police have warned residents to think twice before buying bargain products after they seized counterfeit and illicit goods worth more than R500,000 during a three-day crackdown.
Police, working alongside brand protection specialists and officials from the department of agriculture, confiscated fake consumables, counterfeit cell phone accessories, illicit pesticides, fake honey and illicit liquor.
The operation, carried out between June 23 and 25, targeted businesses in Cleveland and Langlaagte in Johannesburg, as well as Germiston in Ekurhuleni.
