Industrial spare parts worth $23 million seized in Honduras

Honduran authorities have confiscated a substantial cache of industrial spare parts, valued at over $23 million, during an operation in San Pedro Sula. The National Police seized 12,865 items during a raid on company warehouses.

The operation, conducted in coordination with the Directorate of Police Investigations (DPI) and the Public Ministry, targeted goods suspected of being linked to the illicit use of registered trademarks. This action could represent a significant violation of intellectual property rights.

During the inspection, officers discovered thousands of spare parts stored in cardboard boxes within the targeted facilities. The confiscated merchandise has been placed under the custody of the relevant authorities as investigations continue to trace the origin of the goods and identify any individuals responsible for potential criminal offenses.

The Police National has reiterated its commitment to combating crimes related to product counterfeiting and the improper use of registered brands through such operations.
