Monday evening, shortly after 8 p.m., the police from the anti-crime brigade spotted two people exchanging a bag in the Casselardit district in Toulouse.
Suspicious behavior that prompts them to check what is going on.
They quickly realize that one of the two interlocutors has just bought the other a famous brand bag, which turns out to be a counterfeit.
After a search and a search at the dealer, the police found no less than 170 caps, imitations of Gucci or Burberry, but also about sixty satchels, clothes, T-shirts and even bags of packaging and labels to make it more real.
All counterfeits, as well as 5,500 euros in cash.
The 21-year-old, unknown to the police, found his clients on social media.
He was arrested and will be tried at a plea-guilty hearing next June.
