After a lab test, the perfumes were found to have many toxic chemicals including cyanide, and particles of human urine. Post this, the police issued a statement and warned people to be aware of fake perfumes that look exactly like the original. Investigation regarding the matter is being carried by the police.
The warning comes after £60,000 of bogus beauty products – with labels including Chanel, Armani, Dior and Hugo Boss – were seized by cops.
Earlier this week, officers caught another alleged fraudster during a patrol of the area, located in the Cheetham Hill district of Manchester. As they were speaking to members of the community, police noticed a man further down the road rushing to close the shutters in an attempt to evade detection.
