NSW Police believe they have put a huge dent in a counterfeit supply ring after a raid at a storage facility in Sydney's southwest.
At around 10.45am (AEDT) on Tuesday, police raided the premises on Punchbowl Road, Belfield, as part of a joint investigation with the NSW Department of Fair Trading.
"We have seized what only can be described as a huge amount of counterfeit goods," Inspector Paul Warden from the Campsie Local Area Command told reporters.
He said a 50-year-old man was arrested at the scene and was helping police with their enquiries.
The goods seized in the raid are still being catalogued but are believed to include clothing, personal and electrical items.
"It's a huge amount of counterfeit goods and it is very difficult to put a figure on it but if these goods were genuine they would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars," Insp Warden told reporters on Tuesday.
"With this operation hopefully we have put a big dent in the supply chain of counterfeit goods in Sydney and in other places such as EBay."
The operation has been planned for several months after concerns were raised about the standard of some goods surfacing in Sydney.
Nike security and protection manager Matthew Layton told reporters it was concerning Australian consumers were being misled, but the fake products could also cause injury.
"There was a very high chance someone could do an injury with these products - one of the items found were actually children's shoes," he said.
It's believed the counterfeit goods were imported from Asia.
