SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Federal authorities in Puerto Rico say they have seized $1.2 million worth of counterfeit and pirated merchandise from more than a dozen retailers.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the goods were seized Wednesday in the historic district of Puerto Rico’s capital known as Old San Juan. Officials said the goods infringed on trademarks including Gucci, Nike, Prada, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana, among others.

Authorities issued five arrest warrants during the operation. They said first-time offenders were issued a notification of violation of law.
