Italian police said Friday they had seized some 800,000 fake luxury watches worth 10 million euros ($17 million) in a shop run by five Chinese nationals in Tuscany.

The store in Prato, south of Bologna, transformed unfinished replicas of Dolce & Gabbana, Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe and Mont Blanc watches brought from China.

Police also seized real estate, a car, three computers and watch-making equipment, they said.

Tuscany has a large Chinese community. Some 30,000 Chinese live - often illegally - in the textile industry around Prato.
