The boy and the two girls, aged 14 and 17, worked on
assembling leather parts of branded products, police said.
Police discovered a total of 22 people working
unofficially, including 8 foreigners. During the checks they
also seized 100,000 products for various reasons including
violations of safety norms and counterfeiting.
Six people were reported for counterfeiting and commercial

The Chinese owner of the factory was cited for using
under-age labour.
