The Police have arrested a 42-year-old woman for her suspected involvement in the sale of counterfeit goods.

On 14 April 2022, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department conducted enforcement operations at a street market along Clementi Avenue 3 and a residential unit along Ang Mo Kio Street 51, resulting in the arrest. During the operation, more than 2,400 pieces of trademark-infringing apparel, with an estimated street value of about $62,000, were seized. Police investigations are ongoing.

Under the Trade Marks Act 1998, the offence of selling or distributing goods with falsely applied trade marks carries a fine of up to $100,000, an imprisonment term of up to five years, or both.

The Police take a serious view of intellectual property rights infringement and would like to remind the public that the distribution and sale of counterfeit goods are serious offences. The Police will not hesitate to take tough action against perpetrators who profit at the expense of legitimate businesses and consumers.
