Canal Street is very quiet this afternoon, one day after the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement in cooperation with the NYPD seized upwards of $1 million worth of counterfeit goods in the 'Counterfeit Triangle' bounded by Canal, Walker and Centre Streets. Seen in this special edition Racked photo gallery, there will be no fake Fendi bag buying for you today.

Local news stations are reporting that "more than $1 million of counterfeit Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Rolex and Coach goods have been seized in an early morning Chinatown raid by the Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement." The raids came early this morning, and targeted the area known as the 'Counterfeit Triangle' "bounded by Canal, Walker and Centre Streets" which "consists of 32 stalls and storefront shops."
