Police and trading standards officers in Edinburgh have arrested 12 people in connection with the seizure of pirated Nintendo and Sony Playstation games worth an estimated £1 million. The fake goods were found on seven stalls in Edinburgh’s Ingliston Market. The games were on sale for around £15 each and in some cases there was no software at all in the boxes. ®
