A BIG BUNDLE OF PIRATED T-SHIRTS bearing the names and logos of world and Thai national football teams have been seized at the Thai-Cambodian border in Aranyaprathet district of Sra Kaeo, police said.

 

The authorities seized a total of 290 counterfeit T-shirts in two large duffel bags thrown away on the side of a natural border path by an unidentified smuggling suspect who had fled the scene after he had slipped in and out of Thai territory riding a motorcycle with a sidecar, the police said.

 

The counterfeit items had been allegedly destined for Rong Klua market in Aranyaprathet across the border from Poi Pet township of Cambodia.
