Customs officers yesterday seized 140 suspected pirated fortune-telling books worth about $6,200 in total, and arrested six men and a woman aged 37 to 54 in a raid of five newspaper stands and two shops in North Point, Mong Kok and Yuen Long.

Officers found a small number of genuine fortune-telling books for the Year of the Tiger were mixed with the illegal copies to deceive customers.

Of the seven arrested, six were owners of newspaper stands or shops and the other was a sales assistant. They were released on bail.
