Illegal and Counterfeit Tobacco Products Seized in Peterborough Raid
Thousands of suspected illegal and counterfeit tobacco products seized in Peterborough by joint police and council operation.

According to a recent report from the Peterborough Telegraph, thousands of suspected illegal and counterfeit tobacco products have been seized in a store and residential property in Peterborough, England.

 

According to a spokesperson for the Cambridgeshire Police, "Our East Community Team and Modern Slavery Team, in conjunction with Peterborough City Council's Trading Standards, Environmental Health and Housing Standards departments, visited shops and residences on Lincoln Road. Thousands of illegal and counterfeit tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and tobacco products, were seized. The Trading Standards department will continue with the investigation."

 

According to records, a total of nearly 11,000 illegal and counterfeit tobacco products were seized. The Peterborough City Council departments, which maintained close cooperation during the operation, will also continue to jointly conduct this enforcement investigation.
