Police say they seized 180,000 fake cosmetic products with a street value approx. 300 million baht last night from five locations in Bangkok. They’ve also arrested two suspects for trying to sell the goods.

Immigration Bureau chief Pol Lt-Gen Surachate Hakparn, along with secretary general of the Food and Drug Administration Dr Thares Krassanai-Rawiwong, conducted a search in Soi Sai Mai 13 in Sai Mai district that reportedly stored imported fake versions of Channel, Lancome, DKNY and Dior cosmetics for sale online.

At the Sai Mai building, officers say they confiscated 80,000 fake cosmetic products.

Surachet named the suspects as 62 year old Renu Imlamai and 45 year old Chanalert Rujipaiboon. The raid followed a Thai-US collaboration to crackdown on fake goods that violate copyright and intellectual property laws.
