Around 58,000 fake football shirts have been seized in what's estimated to be the biggest counterfeit operation ever undertaken in Britain.
Set to be distributed during the FIFA World Cup 2026, the tops weighed in at over nine tonnes and had a street value of £5.5million.
Fake shirts are typically made of poor quality materials, posing a deadly risk to buyers as they are potentially being exposed to harmful toxins and dyes.
On top of this, bargain hunting shoppers don't tend to realise that when they buy knock-off products, they fuel criminal activity.
Counterfeit sellers are typically linked to organised criminals who deploy deadly violence to control their empires, often linked to drug dealing and modern slavery.
