Authorities say the underground factory was capable of producing over 60,000 DVDs per day, or 2,700 per hour, with an estimated daily street value over $438,000. The raid occurred near London in an area called Leyton after an investigation into the supply of counterfeit DVDs in London and South East England.
The police seized over 300 titles, among them the film, Ice Age 2, scheduled for release in theatres two days later. The FPU will be investigating the financing of the operation.
"Waltham Forest has a zero tolerance attitude to organised counterfeiting and will continue to enforce this policy," said Gavin Douglas, Group Manager, Public Protection for the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Link
