As a result of a yearlong investigation dubbed “Project Prada”, Surrey Police Service (SPS) has arrested one person and seized suspected counterfeit sports jerseys, clothing, baggage, jewelry, and other goods estimated to be 6.6 million dollars’ worth of lost retail sales. 

In June 2025, SPS’s Prolific Offender Unit (POU) received information from the Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network (CACN) regarding possible counterfeit clothing and goods for sale in Surrey and initiated an investigation involving a person of interest. 

Over the course of the past year, POU Investigators gathered evidence of the sale of suspected counterfeit clothing and other goods associated with a residence in Surrey associated with the person of interest. On June 17, 2026, POU detectives obtained and executed a search warrant where one man was arrested, and a significant amount of clothing, sports jerseys, baggage, and other goods were seized. The value is estimated to be approximately 6.6 million dollars’ worth of lost retail sales. Suspected counterfeit items seized during the search included:

• 536 Adidas jerseys (Soccer, NBA, and NHL);
• 1758 Nike jerseys (Soccer, NFL, NBA, and MLB);
• 131 CCM NHL jerseys;
• 375 Mitchell & Ness jerseys and caps (NBA, NFL, MLB);
• 28 pieces of Hermes jewelry and footwear;
• 203 pieces of Louis Vuitton clothing and handbags;
• 673 pieces of Gucci bags and footwear;
• 340 pieces of Christian Dior clothing, bags, jewelry, and footwear;
• 117 pieces and Burberry clothing;
• 120 pieces of Bathing Ape clothing;
• 19 Rolex watches; and
• 85 Cartier watches, sunglasses, and jewelry.

The suspect was released from police custody shortly after the arrest and the investigation remains active and ongoing.
