Thousands of counterfeit football shoes were found by the Customs Department at the Freeport, hidden behind a consignment of plastic cups.

The department said that they seized 5,370 pairs of football shoes, purporting to be of a well-known brand. They were confiscated after the agent for the brand confirmed that they were fake. 

The agents are expected to take legal action in due course.
