S.J. police say burglary call uncovers counterfeit DVD/CDs
(12-19) 05:26 PST San Jose, Calif. (AP) —
San Jose police say an officer checking on a home he thought was being burglarized instead uncovered a major counterfeit DVD and CD operation.
After responding to the four-bedroom home on the city’s East side Monday, police say about 400,000 DVDs and CDs were found in the house.
The street value of the counterfeit DVDs and CDs is estimated to be more than $1 million dollars.
Police are calling it the largest counterfeit DVD and CD operation ever uncovered in Santa Clara County.
Four residents of the home were taken into custody and booked on suspicion of possession of counterfeit media.
Investigators are trying to determine whether others were involved in the operation.
