Counterfeit tobacco sniffed out in Wolverhampton raids
Stashed away in secret compartments, hidden under trap doors, stored in deep freezers – just some of the lengths shopkeepers are going to to hide illegal cigarettes from the watchful eyes of the law. But the game was up for traders in Wolverhampton this week when raids by trading standards officers saw more than 40,000 dodgy smokes seized.
Officers and specialist sniffer dogs swooped on three stores in the Whitmore Reans and Blakenhall areas of the city, coming away with a monster haul of fake and non-duty paid cigarettes and alcohol worth £320,000. The loss of revenue on the items was £259,000.
