ESSEX - Police are trying to get to the bottom of a scandalinvolving thousands of pairs of counterfeit Wallace
and Gromit, Tasmanian Devil and Homer Simpson
underpants. A total of 14 boxes of the illegal undies
were seized by trading standards officials in a
shipment from Copenhagen during routine inspections.
Trading standards officers believe the stock would
have been collected in person by market stallholders
in time for the last few shopping days before
Christmas. No arrests have been made and
investigations are continuing.
