More arrests on the way over illegal tobacco
Complaints regarding the selling of cheap, untaxed cigarettes and counterfeit tobacco to Crimestoppers have doubled, the charity said today.Earlier this year, our undercover investigators visited dozens of shops and found 25 out of 27 were prepared to sell illegal cigarettes and tobacco to customers.
When samples were sent off for analysis it was found the tobacco contained substances such as rat droppings, poisonous chemicals, dead insects and asbestos.
