The RCMP have seized more than 100 thousand dollars worth of counterfeit products at sixty retail stores and flea markets in the region.

Corporal Judith Falbo says items like sports jerseys and DVDs were found in 60 stores, some of which were in shopping malls.

Falbo says the blitz by the Kitchener detachment was conducted this month.

She says no arrests have been made yet.

Falbo is reminding shoppers that items with spelling mistakes or tags in different languages are an indicator they might be counterfeit.

She says prices that seem too good to be true, probably are.
