Knockoffs are getting the SMACKDOWN.

The NY Police have been on a roll!

Turns out that they have been investigating this matter for an extremely long time and they are hitting all the hot spots one month at a time...

WWD confirms that "an eight-month counterfeiting investigation culminated in raids on four Long Island locations Thursday, yielding a trove of apparel and accessories.

New York State Police and Suffolk County Police raided three commercial locations and one residence and started confiscating what private investigators involved in the case estimated will be more than $750,000 in fake merchandise. Police did not return calls for comment."

Maybe since they have been cracking down on this matter, Mr. Jacobs can go ahead and lower the prices for some of his bags...? Come on... you already have more than half my salary, why not just help me out this one time?
