A stash of items were seized from 'too good to be true sellers' at Corley Services on the M6 . Atherstone police officers have stepped up patrols around the area and during a recent shift they clocked a number of men 'acting suspiciously'.

"Officers were in the right place at the right time to deal with the suspects and in their panic left behind some suspicious property that won't be returned," the team said. Among the boxed items seized were fake perfumes as well as electrical items such as ear phones and a phone.

"They have also been reports of selling similar property in the car parks. Officers have tested the brand new boxed items and none of them work and are counterfeit."

It led to the team to issue a warning: "Be careful what you buy. If it’s too good to be true," they said.
