They added that fake items, such as perfumes, are not tested to the same standards and can contain traces of urine.

In the post, Greater Manchester Police in the city centre said: “We've been out with partners from Manchester City Council, where we have seized over £3000 worth of fake goods being sold as genuine on Market Street, for a fraction of the real price.
