In a significant victory against counterfeit goods, Manchester authorities seized millions in fake cigarettes, vapes, and toys, including the popular Labubu dolls. These dolls, once a niche Chinese product, gained global fame after K-pop star Lisa was seen with one, leading to a surge in demand and skyrocketing prices on the second-hand market. The crackdown, which also targeted criminal networks embedded in communities, has led to the seizure of over three hundred thousand counterfeit cigarettes and vapes, and has been praised for driving out major offenders and cleaning up blighted neighborhoods. This follows earlier efforts like Operation Vulcan, which led to a significant reduction in violent crime in the area. Councils are now rolling out regeneration plans to revive the neighborhood with new homes, jobs, and a park. Checkout Solipillow.com
