Joint Operation Successfully Seizes Counterfeit Tobacco and E-Cigarettes
Warwickshire Trading Standards and Leamington Community Safety Team seized counterfeit cigarettes and illegal e-cigarettes in a joint operation.

According to a report by talkingretail on January 10th, the Leamington Security Community Team collaborated with the Warwickshire Trademark Standards Bureau for a joint operation at a small supermarket on Clarendon Street.

 

Law enforcement officers seized a significant amount of counterfeit cigarettes and illegal e-cigarettes in the operation, and successfully impounded a vehicle. Additionally, two males were arrested at the same location on suspicion of possessing imitation firearms.

 

Officer Lake from the Lymington Community Team expressed, "This successful collaborative operation with our colleagues from the Trademark Standards Bureau has yielded positive results."

 

These products are unsafe and should not be sold in our community. The Trademark Standards Bureau will continue to crack down on illegal merchants, and we will continue to support them," Officer Lake said. "To further reassure the community, there is no evidence indicating that crimes involving imitation firearms pose a wider risk to the public; these weapons have been safely handled and will be destroyed.

 

The Trademark Standards Bureau of Warwickshire County has stated that they have seized 19,600 illegal e-cigarettes from various stores across the county in the past 18 months.
