Media Statement WESTERN CAPE – The Western Cape Provincial Counterfeit Goods Task Team continues to make inroads into the illegal trading of counterfeit goods which impact negatively on the economy of South Africa through the confiscation of illicit liquor to the estimated value of R450 000-00 in Strand. Yesterday 17 June 2024 at about 13:00, members attached to the Provincial Counterfeit Illicit and Contraband Goods Task Team embarked on a counterfeit operation in the Strand policing precinct in pursuit of information they received. They ensued with a search of a liquor outlet situated in Abbeglen Street in the Strand, during which they confiscated liquor which did not meet the requirements for sale purposes. The estimated street value of the liquor is R450 000-00. As a result of the discovery, the members arrested a 48-year-old Chinese national on charges related to dealing in counterfeit, illicit and illegal goods as well as the contravention of the Liquor Act 50/2003. The suspect is due to make a court appearance in the Strand Magistrates’ court once he has been charged. Ends
