Five arrested in fake drug raids in UK
Police swooped on a number of addresses across the UK this morning, seizing what are believed to be fake and illegal drugs and making several arrests, as part of a concerted campaign against medicine counterfeiters.
Four people in London and one in West Yorkshire were arrested as a result of the raids, which uncovered caches of drugs estimated to be worth several hundred thousand pounds. The swoop came after investigations by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
