Lt-Col Philani Nkwalase, spokesperson for the directorate, said the Hawks’ intellectual property rights and tactical operations management sections, with brand protector experts from Spoor & Fisher Attorneys, raided two businesses in Kempton Park and Midrand on Wednesday and Friday.
“These two operations were preceded by a meticulous investigation into the allegations of dealing in counterfeit vehicle parts and accessories sold under the guise of genuine Ford and Volkswagen branded products,” said Nkwalase.
