The joint operation involved multiple police units and SARS Customs, leading to the arrest of six undocumented immigrants and one person for hiring illegal workers. Authorities also issued nine traffic fines and shut down three businesses for health and safety violations, while customs held liquor for further inspection. Investigations are ongoing, with potential for more charges as authorities dig deeper into this complex case aimed at protecting consumers and legitimate businesses from the dangers of counterfeit trade.
