In a significant crackdown, Pattaya police have dismantled a counterfeit perfume ring, arresting two women accused of selling fake designer fragrances at a local shopping centre. A total of 226 fake branded scent bottles, potentially posing health risks, were seized during the operation.

 

The suspects, Kanyapat (38) and Araya (37), face charges of "jointly offering for sale goods bearing counterfeit trademarks," a serious offence targeting unauthorised merchandise sales. This arrest is part of the Economic Crime Suppression Division's (ECD) heightened efforts to curb counterfeit activities in Pattaya.

 

Officers uncovered the illegal operation during a routine patrol on the shopping mall's first floor, where they found the women selling cheap knock-offs. Subsequent checks confirmed the false nature of the fragrances, leading to the seizure.

 

 

 

Both women reportedly confessed to being employed by a foreign individual to distribute the counterfeit products. Following their apprehension, they were transported to Pattaya Police Station for legal proceedings, along with the seized goods.

 

Authorities urge shoppers to remain vigilant against bargain perfumes that might contain harmful chemicals, advising purchases from reputable retailers only, as reported by Pattaya News. The police continue their pursuit of the operation's mastermind to put an end to this illegal trade, reported The Thaiger.

Never buy it from anywhere other than central department store here or boots UK if people are coming to Thailand I know. Place is full of fake sprays , especially Lazada.

I’ll bet most people that were buying it knew it was fake, but it was in a bottle and box that they could show off to their friends. Same as the Rolex watches and designer bags.

Is this the same as the 70% off perfume sellers you see in Bangkok every week outside shopping malls. The tester is probably original, but the one you actually buy ... probablynot!
