Girl arrested for piracy

July 15, 2014

The Customs & Excise Department has appealed to youngsters to be cautious when taking summer jobs to ensure they are not selling counterfeit goods.

 

It made the appeal today after Customs officers arrested a 12-year-old girl for selling counterfeit goods yesterday, and a 23-year-old man believed to be directing her.

 

An undercover officer ordered some counterfeit cosmetics on an Internet auction site and the girl delivered the goods.

 

She received $20 from the seller for each transaction delivered.

 

The seller was later identified by the girl and was also arrested.

 

Counterfeit cosmetics worth $7,000 were seized.

 

Call 2545 6182 to report suspected counterfeiting activities.
