The Macao Customs Service has confiscated 280 counterfeit Nokia products, local media reported Tuesday.

The Macao Post Daily quoted customs sources as saying that the contraband items included six mobile phones, 48 battery chargers, 73 earphones, 28 Bluetooth earphones and 32 skins for mobile phones.

The fake products valued 80,000 patacas (US$10,000) in market, the sources were cited by the newspaper.

Six suspects have been taken in for questioning in the wake of the raids conducted by customs personnel on three shops last week, the newspaper said.

The case has been transferred to the region's Public Prosecution for further investigations and possible laying of charges related to intellectual property rights violations.
