A substantial quantity of suspected counterfeit car parts has been seized by police, following a raid in Co Armagh on Wednesday.

The sub-standard parts, including brake pads, were removed from a premises on the Concession Road in the Cullaville area of south Armagh.

A large sum of cash was also found.

The joint operation was carried out by PSNI officers in connection with Trading Standards.

South Armagh Inspector Davy Beck said the counterfeit parts could have proven "deadly" if used.

"If these parts had ended up being fitted to vehicles being driven on local roads the consequences could have been deadly," he said.

"While many counterfeit parts look very convincing, testing by Trading Standards has revealed serious safety implications.

"We are working hard to prevent these parts being circulated in South Armagh and this work will continue over coming weeks."

Detectives have urged anyone suspicious over parts fitted to their car to contact Trading Standards for advice.
