Burberrys Bagged

A representative of luxury bag maker Burberry tipped off the Benidorm local police about a racket in fake bags which were being sold in various establishments in the town.

The police raided, not for the first time, two Asian run premises where they seized more than 1500 fake items including bags, suitcases, wallets and rucksacks.

They also discovered another warehouse with even more 'Burberry' products destined for the market and a spokesman added that the police periodically raid these types of fake goods factories.
