Bogus U2 Merch at Mexican Show

If you bought a T-shirt at the recent U2 show in Monterrey, Bono and the boys might not have gotten their cut...

Irish super rock group U2 took this northern Mexican city by storm with a sold-out concert over the weekend – and counterfeiters apparently took notice. Acting on a warrant, federal agents stormed Ricardo Covarruvias Street in Monterrey, seizing 1,375 pirated U2 items, according to a statement released late Tuesday by the federal attorney general's office.

In all, agents recovered 1,100 T-shirts, 70 hats, 60 DVDs, 60 CDs, 50 magazines and 35 coffee mugs featuring the band. The statement did not elaborate on whether businesses, homes or other buildings were searched in the area, which is close to the Estadio Tecnologico where U2 played a concert Sunday.
