A 16-YEAR-OLD boy and his parents who are alleged to have run a professional counterfeiting operation from an attic bedroom are to be questioned by police this month.
Officers swooped on three homes last August in Harwood, Sharples and Deane seizing fake goods which would have been worth £500,000 if sold as genuine.
The 16-year-old, who was arrested at his Deane home, was the youngest of three males to be arrested during the raids mounted by trading standards officers.
