Authorities have discovered a large cache of counterfeit designer streetwear, including items from Adidas and Nike, with an estimated retail value of $10 million at a warehouse in Arcadia. The discovery followed an initial interception of a shipment at a port of entry.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department announced the seizure, stating that deputies executed a search warrant at the commercial warehouse last week. During the search, they found over 25,000 units of counterfeit branded streetwear.
The initial interception occurred in early August when the Sheriff’s Department's counterfeit and piracy enforcement team received a tip. This led to the inspection and seizure of the shipment at the port before it reached its final destination in Arcadia.
While no arrests were made at the time the search warrant was served, officials indicated that the owner of the business operating from the warehouse is considered a suspect. The investigation into the matter is reportedly ongoing.
