Johannesburg - Eleven men were arrested for possession of counterfeit clothes worth R200 000 and a hijacked car south of the Johannesburg CBD on Sunday, police said.
Members of the flying squad and the metro police were led to the house after receiving a tracker signal from a hijacked car, Captain John Maluleke said.
Police found counterfeit branded clothes in the seven cars parked outside the building in Booysens, as well as a Volkswagen Polo which had been hijacked in Limpopo in September.
A truck was seen delivering clothes to the house during the early hours of Sunday.
Six South Africans and five Congolese nationals were arrested. They would face charges of car theft, hijacking and possession of stolen goods.
Police would profile the men to find out if they could be linked to other crimes.
