Fake Apple items smuggled into NYC from China, officials say
A special NYPD investigative unit working with federal agents arrested four men suspected of running a lucrative smuggling ring that brought in hundreds of thousands of fake Apple watches, iPhones, Bose speakers and other electronic items from China, officials said.
Armed with search warrants, detectives and federal agents seized more than 20,000 fake items with a retail value of at least $2.6 million at a storage facility in Queens and at the main suspect’s home, NYPD inspector John Denesopolis, commander of the newly formed criminal enterprise investigations unit, told reporters Wednesday.
