00:00London Police have led a major crackdown on counterfeit football shirts, with fake kits
00:06worth an estimated £18.5 million seized during the World Cup.
00:11The City of London Police's Intellectual Property Unit removed more than 220,000 fake
00:17shirts from sale since January, targeting online marketplaces, live shopping apps and
00:23street sellers.
00:24Officers say counterfeit goods can fund organised crime and may not meet safety standards.

00:36where they buy football shirts, as rising prices have also increased demand for cheaper alternatives.
