AROUND 200 fake DVD box sets were seized from two Beeston houses during raids to crack down on counterfeit goods.
The raids were carried out by Trading Standards officers from Notts County Council and the seized goods included box sets of TV shows Mrs Brown's Boys, The Walking Dead, Homeland and Smash.
It is believed the counterfeit goods were bought from Hong Kong and were being sold as genuine products on eBay for around £12 to £20 each.
Councillor Mick Murphy, Chairman of Notts County Council's community safety committee, said: "It is likely that the counterfeit goods that were seized were targeting the Christmas market, depriving honest and legal businesses of trade during the most important period for traders.
"Counterfeit products are usually inferior quality and often fund organised crime so we urge local residents to steer clear of such goods.
Trading Standards officers also carried out a similar raid in Worksop last Friday, which resulted in two people being arrested.
Further investigations are taking place on both operations.
A 29-year-old man and 21-year-old woman were arrested in connection with the Beeston raids. A 48-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man were also arrested in connection with the raids in Worksop. All have been bailed pending further inquiries.
