Anne Arundel County police impounded counterfeit merchandise valued at $320,000 from sporting goods stores in Glen Burnie and Pasadena and from vendors at a Pasadena flea market.
The counterfeit merchandise involved mainly National Football League, National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball jerseys and related items, said Cpl. Mark Shawkey, a police spokesman. Police acted with the help of an investigator hired by the trademark manufacturers, Shawkey said.
The first seizure of clothing and memorabilia occurred June 19 at Charm City Sports in Pasadena. The second seizure was June 23 at Brumwells Flea Market in Pasadena. "Designer handbags, baseball hats, DVDs and sunglasses" were seized from two vendors, police said. Police arrested one of the vendors, Guangding Yu, 53, of Fresh Meadows, N.Y. Police said they seized "shirts and ball caps" June 27 from All Jerseys Store in Glen Burnie.
