Goods seized at boot sale
Trading standards officers in Shropshire have seized illegal and counterfeit goods valued at �200,000 at a car boot sale.

Two raids were carried out at Worfield near Bridgnorth on Saturday.

Officers found pornographic films, counterfeit CDs and DVDs, French cigarettes and computer games.

Several stallholders fled from the car boot sale as officers arrived.

The goods will be passed onto Customs and Excise.

A spokesman for Shropshire Trading Standards said it is the second week of a major crackdown on organised gangs.
