The wrecked caravan beneath a human waste pipe where a £20-a-day counterfeit street spotter may have lived
A new police drive to smash Cheetham Hill's notorious counterfeit trade has uncovered a dilapidated caravan covered in human faeces where an officer believes gangs could have housed a £20-a-day 'spotter'.
Det Supt Neil Blackwood told the M.E.N: "I would suggest they are being exploited. Would I stand out in the cold on a street corner for £20-a-day? No. Is it a decent living wage? No. They are being exploited largely because they are not allowed to work. People recognise that and give them what they believe is fair."
Despite sporadic attempts to tackle the trade over the years, businesses which were closed down often re-opened within a day and the trade, linked by police to serious crime and even terrorism, has continued to flourish. During one raid at a vape shop, students were found to be exceeding the 20-hours-a-week they were allowed to work, she said.When the M.E.N. joined the latest phase of Op Vulcan on Tuesday, officers were continuing to search one counterfeit shop on Harris Street in the Strangeways area. Police first raided the premises on Saturday and they have removed a vast amount of counterfeit goods, including labels such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
The owner of an adjacent vape shop on Harris Street, who declined to be named, praised the police operation. He said of the fakers: "I've been here eight years and it was really bad. They were very intimidating to my customers and they were fighting their own customers."
