Fake DVDs seized in house raid

Around 8,000 counterfeit DVDs featuring the latest Hollywood blockbusters and copies of computer games have been seized from a Walsall home.

Police and trading standards officers at Walsall Council swooped on the property, in Pier Street, Brownhills, and found goods with a value of £100,000.

Amazingly they had to return twice after sellers returned with more stock after each raid.

The horde was found to include recent hits such as current cinema hits Sylvester Stallone's Rambo, sci-fi action picture Jumper and yet-to-be-released comedy Meet the Spartans.

It also included hit titles from the hugely popular Nintendo Wii console including Super Mario Galaxy and wrestling title Smackdown versus RAW.

Officers had to pounce another two times, during Saturday's raid after the bare-faced sellers returned with more stock after each raid.

John Beavon, trading standards manager, said: "We are very concerned about this crime. People who buy illegal goods must realise they are supporting criminals not some cheeky Dell boy character. We also hear of many of these items that of such poor quality you won't see all the film."

Two people are believed to have been arrested.
