SAVANNAH, GA - Police swooped into a Savannah flea market and seized more than 1,000 items as part of what they call an investigation into counterfeit merchandise.
Savannah-Chatham police say more than 35 officers fanned out over the expansive flea market about 11:30 a.m., shutting down 10 booths simultaneously.
Authorities told the Savannah Morning News that counterfeit items seized include purses, cell phone covers, sunglasses and other items with Disney, Marvel and Warner Brothers labels.
The flea market remained open, but some shoppers left the area, leaving bags of merchandise behind.
Police said they planned to keep the items until the investigation is completed, and then destroy them.
