According to a report by the British media outlet Chronicle on January 17th, a significant amount of illegal e-cigarettes and cigarettes were seized by local police in Oldham as part of the "Operation Avro" enforcement action conducted by the Greater Manchester Police.
GMP Oldham Central's Facebook page has posted a message stating that their community team carried out illegal e-cigarette and cigarette inspections at six locations during the "Operation Avow" on January 16th. Out of these, four locations had items confiscated, including 1313 e-cigarettes and 310 packs of illegal cigarettes, with a total value of £20,411.
The community prevention team's work has been highly appreciated. The Oldham Chronicle is calling on and welcoming residents to participate and support quality community news coverage, by providing financial support of £3 per month to the Oldham Chronicle, so that they can continue to provide improved news services in the future.
The recent successful law enforcement operation clearly demonstrates the UK police's strong stance against illegal tobacco products, effectively suppressing the market for illegal e-cigarettes and cigarettes. The relentless efforts of the community team have set an example for community safety and the rule of law environment.
