Detroit police seized hundreds of counterfeit designer bags during an undercover operation this week.

Officers were conducting an undercover operation in the 12700 block of W. 8 Mile Road Wednesday afternoon when a suspect tried to sell an undercover officer a fake Louis Vuitton purse for $150.

Police said that in addition to selling counterfeit items, the suspect did not have a vendor's permit.

Officers confiscated nearly 700 bags and a 2012 Chevy box truck.

The investigation is ongoing.
