In a bid to curtail the ever increasing market for knockoff fragrances and designer goods the NYPD recently completed a huge crackdown effort that closed the doors on 31 Canal Street knockoff distributors and shops.
This raid has gone above and beyond most other efforts in the fact that not only has the merchandise been confiscated, but the shops will not be allowed to reopen. Hopefully this sends a strong message to counterfeit perfume retailers.
