Two men have been charged under copyright laws after 40,000 DVDs were seized during a raid in north London.

The fake films, worth up to �640,000, were found following the arrest of two street traders in Tottenham on Sunday.

An address in the area was raided where DVD labels, imported DVDs, believed to be counterfeit, and cash were found.

Ping He, 29, of Tottenham, and Yu Xiong Ke, 37, of Hull, East Yorkshire, are due to appear before Highgate Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

The pair face charges under the Copyright Act and of assault on police.

Nine other people arrested at the property in Tottenham have been bailed until 24 February.
