Dodgy DVD man arrested at Brownhills market
Dodgy DVD man arrested at Brownhills market
The YamYam 14 Oct 09
In a joint operation between West Midlands Police and Walsall Trading Standards, more than 400 illegal DVDs and computer games were seized near the newly re-launched Brownhills market on Saturday. A stallholder in his 30`s who was offering hardcore pornography and counterfeit discs has been arrested.
Walsall Council was forced to step in to save the popular market after the previous operator, Spook Erection, could not negotiate a lease deal with the council. Councillor Garry Perry, cabinet member for communities and partnerships said: “Walsall Trading Standards and police are determined to keep counterfeit DVDs, computer games and offensive material from off our streets and Saturday`s action should be a warning to would-be sellers of fake goods that we won`t tolerate this kind of trading.”
Recently, a haul of 1,500 counterfeit DVDs was seized from a house in Walsall.
