Polish police have shut down what they believe to be the world’s largest fake Viagra factory worth at least £4million.
Officers raided the illegal laboratory in the northern city of Bydgoszcz which was producing counterfeit enhancement pills and steroids.
‘It was the world’s largest factory making anti-impotence drugs according to representatives of four companies whose products were counterfeited,’ police spokeswoman Agnieszka Hamelusz.

Officers have arrested 14 suspects over the course of several months, Hamelusz confirmed.
Police allege the gang sold millions of euros worth of the counterfeit little blue pills via the internet, labelling them with popular brand names as well as their own branding.
A police swoop on a house near Bydgoszcz turned up machines worth £860,000 installed in secret rooms that could only be accessed through hidden passages.
Products for the manufacture of the drugs came from China via Greece, Britain and replacement window mobile Romania.
