Special task force set up to tackle fake cigarette smuggling
A new task force has been set up to tackle the gangs who are netting millions of pounds through smuggling and selling counterfeit cigarettes. The trade in illicit tobacco is becoming increasingly big business for organised criminals. While those who buy it may think they are getting a bargain, they could be putting themselves in serious danger.
