'She got a pal to buy them from Turkey'
A "naïve" car boot con artist who flogged fake designer goods after getting a pal to order them in from Turkey 'didn't think she was doing anything wrong', a court heard.
The officer bought the T-shirt and returned to the stall a short while later to seize 637 items of clothing, footwear and bedding. Samples were handed over to the trademark owners, with 441 of them being declared as fake. Claire Box, prosecuting, said: "She accepted the items seized were her property. She had been charging £20 for a tracksuit, £20 for a pair of trainers and £5 for a T-shirt. She said she bought cheap so she could sell cheap and said she wasn't sure if the items were genuine. "
Defending, Gary McAnulty said: "She has been very naïve in relation to the whole situation. She didn't think she was doing anything particularly wrong. She was getting items from a physical store in Turkey and paid import tax to bring them into the country.
