Bollywood DVDs seized in London
In the largest ever haul, British police have seized about 1.5 lakh pirated Bollywood DVDs and other counterfeit goods worth over five million pounds in a raid at a London suburb.
Four people were arrested and three cars seized from Hayes, near Southhall, with more arrests expected to follow, police said today.
Acting on a tip-off, officers carried out the raid under “Operation Don”, code-named after a Bollywood action flick, and seized almost two million items.
The estimated 13 tonnes of merchandise included about two lakh counterfeit DVDs, three-quarters of which were Indian titles, as well as CDs and sports goods.
More than 6,000 pounds in cash were also recovered. The investigation was led by Ealing Council’s trading standards officer.
