ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – In a significant crackdown on counterfeit goods, police have confiscated numerous items from a mall in Ocoee. The operation is part of an ongoing investigation into fake merchandise, according to a statement released by the local police department on Tuesday.

The authorities revealed that they carried out a search warrant at two specific businesses within the West Oaks Mall, situated on West Colonial Drive.

The establishments involved in this action have been identified as:

• Trenditions — Suite 352

• World Tech Store of Orlando — Suites 316, 318, and Kiosk K3

According to detectives, the investigation first kicked off after several undercover visits revealed people buying designer trademarked items like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, which brand representatives later confirmed to be fake.

“Additional merchandise believed to be counterfeit was also found openly displayed for sale,” the release reads. “Today’s operation focused on safely securing and seizing evidence related to the suspected trafficking of counterfeit goods.”

Police said that the items seized from those two stores included counterfeit merchandise, business records, digital devices, and other materials involved in the sale of counterfeit products.

“Every counterfeit item we seized today was one less victim in a broad scheme to defraud the citizens of Ocoee,” Sgt. David Ogletree said. “I want to thank the private investigators who brought this to our attention.”

The department also explained that police conducted the operation to gather evidence and support potential criminal charges related to counterfeit trademark violations.

No additional information has been provided at this time.
