South Florida Woman Arrested for Wholesaling Fake Watches
South Florida is a hotbed of counterfeiting activity. Fortunately, law enforcement officials here take counterfeiting fairly seriously and, over the last year, have had a series of successes against manufacturers, importers and wholesalers of counterfeit goods.
In the latest raid, the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) announced that it arrested Mantin Ng on Thursday after undercover detectives completed one of several buys of counterfeit watches from her. BSO seized 1,986 fake watches from Ng's storage lockers, including counterfeit Rolex, Gucci, Chanel, Cartier and Brietling brands, all made in China.
According to BSO, Ng has been wholesaling counterfeit watches for several years. Her retailer customers sell the fakes to consumers for about $300 each.
Ng, who is charged under Florida law with one count of vending goods or services with counterfeit trademarks was released on $1,000 bond. She faces a maximum jail sentence of five years.
