Customs officers have arrested a 33-year-old woman for selling counterfeit Beijing 2008 Olympic Games torches on an Internet auction site.

 

Undercover officers arranged a transaction with the woman in Lam Tin MTR Station yesterday and arrested her, seizing a fake torch. They seized another four counterfeit torches in a Sau Mau Ping flat.

 

Two of the torches were made of metal and the rest made of cloth and cotton.
