Ras Al Khaimah - The Ras Al Khaimah Police have seized counterfeit products of ink and toner cartridges worth Dh11 million from a villa in RAK city and busted a gang of Asians involved in the crime.
Major-General Ali Abdullah bin Alwan Al Nuaimi, Commander-in-Chief of the RAK Police, on Sunday said the Organised Crimes Section of the RAK Police was alerted that some Asian residents were dealing in counterfeit products. “The gang’s villa was put under surveillance. After the tip-off was confirmed, the villa was raided.”
Col Abdullah Ali Mankhas, Director of the Criminal Investigations Department, said the suspects were arrested red-handed. “The tools used in the counterfeit process, along with the duplicate products were seized in collaboration with the inspectors of the RAK Department of Economic Development.”
The suspects admitted to the crime, he said. “They told the police that they rented their villa only for packing, wrapping and counterfeiting ink and toner cartridges that were to be promoted in the markets and shopping centres of all emirates of the country.”
The goods are in the possession of the RAK Department of Economic Development and the case has been referred to the bodies concerned for legal action, Col Mankhas said.
