Nahbubu dolls

Cops say counterfeit items a danger to kids after swoops

HUNDREDS of fake Labubu dolls have been seized from shops across the Highlands in the run-up to Christmas.

The toys are copies of the viral dolls, originally made by Pop Mart, which have gained cult status thanks to TikTok trends and celebrities wearing and posing with them.

Counterfeits have become increasingly popular due to the high demand and scarcity of the originals - however police warn that replicas may pose serious safety risks for children.
