Customs officers have arrested 32 people for the sale of counterfeit and illicit goods on Internet auction sites since May.

 

They have seized 3,500 items worth $540,000, including counterfeit handbags, purses, and 27 computers.

 

Seventeen men and 15 women, aged 18 to 55, have been apprehended so far. The operation is continuing.

 

The Customs & Excise Department warned it is easy for its officers to detect the sale of fake and illicit goods online, and they can trace the location of the computers involved with the assistance of Internet service providers.
