They say it’s part of a months-long investigation into trademark infringement.
Detectives say they found merchandise totaling over $1 million.
“Trademark infringement is not a victimless crime,” said Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman. “It harms consumers who believe they are purchasing legitimate products, it damages reputable businesses and manufacturers, and it contributes to larger global issues such as child labor. Our detectives will continue to hold accountable those who profit from these illegal practices.”
