The Police have arrested two women and one man, aged between 40 and 44, for their suspected involvement in online sales of counterfeit goods.

On 25 May 2022, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department conducted enforcement operations along Bedok North Street 2, Boon Keng Road and Rivervale Crescent, resulting in the arrests. During the operation, more than 800 pieces of purported trademark-infringing goods comprising of apparel, bags, cosmetic products and accessories, with an estimated street value of more than $18,000, were seized. Police investigations are ongoing.

Under the Trade Marks Act 1998, the offence of selling or distributing goods with falsely applied trademarks carries a fine 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.
