A police raid found £100,000s worth of fake goods this week amid a wider crackdown on counterfeiters.
The raid was carried out on Park Place in the Cheetham Hill area earlier this week in the morning of Wednesday, January 17.
No arrests were made but officers say they founded boxes of clothes and shoes with a total street value of around £215,000.
Inspector Antonia Jackson, from Greater Manchester Police's City of Manchester district, said: “Investigating and tackling criminality in our communities is a fundamental part of neighbourhood policing and we will utilise all of the resources available as we go about this.
“Operation Vulcan has been active in this area for a number of months now and given the nature of the finds, we worked closely with the Vulcan team to assess the items and plan out steps going forward.
“As a neighbourhood team, we work hard to tackle all types of crime, from anti-social behaviour issues and drug dealers to off-road bikes and, in this case, counterfeit clothing.”

The raid came as part of Operation Vulcan, which aims to take on counterfeiters in the Cheetham Hill and Strangeways areas.
Inspector Jackson and her colleagues have appealed for anyone with any further information to get in touch by calling 101.
Alternatively, witnesses can contact independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
