Seven men who attempted to steal almost £760,000 in tax by selling illegal cigarettes, were jailed this week at Manchester Crown Court.

The men, one of whom is from Swinton, were linked to the crime after an investigation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) uncovered their central storage unit in Bolton and caught some of the gang there in April 2014.
