The customs department on Friday announced it had seized over 10,000 counterfeit items during raids carried out on four properties in Protaras on Thursday night, among them a number of Barbie-branded slides.
The other items seized included counterfeit sportswear, clothing, underwear and toys, all of which were imitations of well-known brands.
In addition, it said it had seized a total of 242 packs of 20 cigarettes which had been brought to Cyprus without the requisite import taxes being paid.
