  "summary": "The Torrevieja Local Police have successfully removed almost two tonnes of suspected counterfeit and illegally sold goods from the streets during 2026, as part of a crackdown on unauthorised street trading. This week, 1,550 kilograms of confiscated merchandise were collected from the Local Police headquarters and transported to a waste-management facility for destruction. Over the course of the year, a total of approximately 1,950 kilograms of goods have been seized, with more than 5,000 individual items confiscated. The seizures have been concentrated along Torrevieja’s seafront promenades, with 12 special surveillance and enforcement operations conducted between June and September. Mayor Eduardo Dolón emphasized that the campaign aims to protect legitimate local businesses from unfair competition and reaffirmed the council's commitment to combating the sale of counterfeit products through increased surveillance and police controls.",
