She was nabbed by officers from the Criminal Investigation Department during a raid at Yishun Street 61, where police found more than 700 purportedly fake items.

Police said on Friday night that the items seized, with an estimated street value of over $34,000, included accessories, apparels, footwear, luxury bags, sunglasses, watches and wallets.

They added members of the public that the distribution and sale of counterfeit goods, including through online platforms, are serious offences.

Investigations into the woman are ongoing.
