In recent days, according to a report from the Wakefield Express in the UK, local trade standards officials and the police discovered 1720 illegal cigarette packs during a raid on an offline business premises in Wakefield city center. As a result, the owner of the Continental Food Store could be at risk of losing their operating license.
On December 4th last year, inspection authorities conducted an investigation at a store on Westgate Avenue after it was discovered that they were selling illegal or counterfeit tobacco products.
Details of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes are recorded in documents submitted to the Walkerfield City Council. The local police have discovered illegal sales of cigarettes and e-cigarettes in stores and have called for a review of the licenses of mainland food shops. According to the investigation, a total of 86 illegal cigarette packs were confiscated, including brands such as Marlboro, L&M Blue, Richmond Blue, and NZ Gold. Additionally, it was found that the e-cigarettes sold in the store had nicotine levels exceeding the permitted limit.
Paul Dean, a licensing enforcement officer, has also requested a review of the license. He stated that the results of the night operation, conducted in cooperation with the West Yorkshire Police, Trade Standards, and licensing enforcement officers, clearly indicate that this store is suspected of selling smuggled goods.
