Two women, aged 37 and 48, have been arrested for their suspected involvement in the online sale of counterfeit luxury goods, the police said in a statement on Oct 5.
Officers from the Criminal Investigation Department conducted raids on Sept 29 and Oct 2 in the vicinity of Tampines Street 62 and Chai Chee Road.
During the operations, more than 250 items - including luxury bags, wallets, sunglasses and pouches - were seized.
The estimated street value of the goods is more than $42,000.
Police investigations are ongoing.
Under the Trade Marks Act 1998, anyone found in possession of goods with falsely applied trademarks for the purpose of trade can face a fine of up to $100,000, jail of up to five years, or both.
The police said they take a serious view of intellectual property rights infringement and will not hesitate to act against those who profit at the expense of legitimate businesses and consumers.
