The Daily News Record: Top News: "Police have seized $52,000 in suspected counterfeit clothing from Threads, a store in the Valley Mall, according to authorities and a search warrant filed in the case.
The clothes, seized Monday, include jeans, shoes, hats and shirts made to look like trademarked brand names like Nike, Warner Bros., the National Football League, Major League Baseball, and others, said Lt. Kurt Boshart, spokesman with the Harrisonburg Police Department.
'It’s trademark infringement. These are not legit items,' he said, adding that the clothing seized was sold at Threads for a fraction of the cost of the real thing.
The store’s owner, Latif Ahmed Bakhsh of Winchester, is named in an affidavit for a search warrant, but had not been arrested as of Wednesday afternoon. Authorities say charges are pending.
A message left at Threads for Bakhsh on Wednesday was not returned."
