Rotherham business raided as police seize £370,000 in counterfeit goods

South Yorkshire Police and Trading Standards have seized an estimated £370,000 worth of counterfeit goods from a Rotherham business following a community tip-off.

The raid, carried out on 5 March, uncovered fake vapes, headphones, and electronics. Authorities warned that counterfeit vapes pose health risks and that illegal products undercut legitimate businesses.

The operation was part of ongoing efforts to tackle counterfeit trade and protect local businesses. Police urged the public to continue reporting suspicious activity to aid future investigations.
