SINGAPORE: A 21-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly importing more than S$520,000 worth of counterfeit bags, wallets and watches, which he intended to sell, the police and Singapore Customs said in a joint release on Monday (Oct 15).
About two weeks ago on Oct 4 and Oct 5, Singapore Customs inspected two consignments at a warehouse at Woodlands Industrial Park and found bags they suspected to be fake.

About a week later, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Singapore Customs raided a logistics company at Woodlands Industrial Park, and seized more than 800 pieces of counterfeit bags.
The suspect was subsequently arrested in a follow-up operation along Compassvale Street, and more than 4,000 pieces of fake bags, wallets and watches were seized from his home.
