Homeland Security agents seized more than 350 counterfeit NFL-related merchandise items at Tuesday’s Broncos parade and rally, officials said Friday.

No arrests have been made following the seizure from 15 vendors who were hawking counterfeit T-shirts, jerseys and beanies with Broncos and Super Bowl 50 trademarks, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement news release.

ICE special agents seized 361 items in total from salespeople in Civic Center park with the expertise of two NFL-brand security experts who could spot the fake items.

“Counterfeits are inferior quality,” said David A. Thompson, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations. “They steal American jobs, and they support criminal organizations.”

Trafficking of counterfeit goods is valued at about $250 billion annually, the release said, and is considered the second-largest illicit trade activity.
