SYDNEY police have dismantled a large-scale counterfeit DVD distribution network and seized an estimated $20 million worth of illegal discs.
Detectives from Quakers Hill along with representatives from the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft and product security experts from Woolworths raided a factory unit in Kings Park and a home in Marayong on Thursday.
Officers found around 1.2 million suspected counterfeit high-quality DVDs, artwork, packaging materials, computers, gift cards and cash.
The DVDs included local and international movie titles and TV show box sets which would have had a retail value of more than $20 million, police said.
It's believed the DVDs could have cost the Australian film and television industry more than $60 million if they were distributed.
A 28-year-old Marayong woman was arrested and charged with two counts of dishonestly obtaining property by deception and selling, infringing copy of a work.
She was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear at Blacktown Local Court on May 2.
Police said the network was using multiple names, residential and business addresses and post office boxes to import the DVDs, before they were assembled and repackaged at the factory unit and then sold over the internet.
It's further alleged that more than 65,000 DVDs had been sold with sales exceeding $1.6 million.
