The Investigative Consultants team assisted The Long Beach Police Department’s Directed Enforcement Team in a anti-counterfeiting taskforce action recently. The Long Beach PD identified four locations where gang activity was occurring and that they believed may also be involved in the sales of counterfeit goods. Undercover investigators conducted multiple undercover buys from the locations. The owner’s of each of the locations admitted that they were selling counterfeit goods.
Long Beach PD officers obtained search warrants for all four locations. The warrants were served and a total of six arrests were made. Law enforcement recovered a large quantity of counterfeit shoes, jeans, and other clothing items. Officers also recovered drugs and several handguns. One of the handguns that was recovered had reportedly been stolen from a law enforcement officer. This was a great intellectual property enforcement action carried out by the Long Beach Police Department.
