Police seized more than 10,000 contraband items worth a total of 20 million baht in Nonthaburi province yesterday.
National deputy police chief Pol Gen Ruangsak Jarit-ek announced the raid on smuggled counterfeit goods yesterday at the Economic Crime Suppression Division.
The articles, including fake luxury handbags, cosmetics, clothes, shoes, mobile phone accessories and IT gadgets, were confiscated yesterday from a lorry with a Nakhon Phanom licence plate on Kanchanaphisek Road in Bang Kruai district.
Among the counterfeit goods were forgeries of high-end brands such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Christian Dior, MAC and Adidas.
Police also arrested Paisan Olankitti, a driver of the lorry.
Pol Gen Ruangsak said police had received intelligence that the contraband goods were smuggled from Laos to Thailand through the border in Mukdahan province and were destined for a warehouse in Nonthaburi.
The fake products were imported by the Gala View International Company in Thailand from an unidentified supplier in Guangzhou, China.
They were to be distributed to more than 40 retailers in Bangkok's Sampeng, Pratunam and Patpong markets, as well as tourist attractions in other provinces, police said.
Details of the items did not match an import entry document presented to the Customs Department.
Charges will be pressed against offenders for violating Customs and Trademark Acts.
