Nearly 2,000 fake Paddington Bear items worth £15,000 have been seized from shops in Notting Hill and Earl’s Court Road.

The counterfeit goods, including tote bags, magnets, and t-shirts were taken after a raid on Portobello Road.

The counterfeit goods, confiscated by trading standards, will be destroyed and business owners will face formal action.

Shops now under investigation will ‘bear’ consequences of selling fake items to members of public.
