A police officer has pleaded guilty to selling fake car accessories on eBay.
Paul Gordon Bacon, 46, of Ballymena, admitted 11 charges of infringing trademarks.
The case was brought by Trading Standards following a complaint by a major car manufacturer.
He was given a conditional discharge at Ballymena Magistrates Court on Thursday. The court also granted a forfeiture order for thousands of items seized by Trading Standards.
Its officers had discovered almost 3,000 counterfeit car badges, wallets, key rings and other items bearing the names or logos of motor companies including BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
Bacon admitted sourcing the items in China and subsequently selling them through his eBay shop.
Trading Standards said that in the two years before it took action against him, its investigations found he had made in excess of 8,800 sales on eBay with a total value of more than £80,000.
