A man running a counterfeit piracy operation, selling games, CDs and DVDs from his ice cream van has been convicted.
William Agnew from South Lanarkshire was sentenced at Hamilton Sheriff Court after admitting to the offences. 4,000 DVDs, CDs and games (PlayStation, Xbox and PC) were seized during a raid on the man's business premises. The goods, if sold new, are estimated to be worth in the region of £100,000.
This is the latest in a series of ELSPA publicised piracy related arrests, one of which saw four raids in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, resulting in the arrest of a renowned counterfeiter, and the recovery of £250,000 worth of games, music and films.
So, next time your ice cream man asks if you want anything else with your 99, he might not mean a can of Coke.
