On August 9th, the Shirebrook Safety Community Group inspected a vehicle in the town and discovered illegal cigarettes estimated to be worth around £5,000. This discovery came in response to reports of cigarette sales in Shirebrook, which were subsequently destroyed by trading standards.
On Saturday, September 3rd, officials reported that they have discovered a significant amount of illegal cigarettes.
SNT stated in a Facebook post, "On August 9th, you may have seen our post regarding information we received about illegal cigarette sales in Shirebrook. The same location is at it again!
Over the past month, the police have removed a significant amount of illegal cigarettes from the streets of Shirebrook.
The police have revealed that they have cooperated once again with trade standards authorities, resulting in the discovery and confiscation of nearly 5,000 illegal cigarettes and a large quantity of illicit tobacco. Additionally, 100 non-compliant electronic cigarettes were seized. The police urge the public to be aware of the detrimental effects of illegal cigarettes on health. Such cigarettes carry not only a fire hazard risk but also huge health risks, even more toxic than genuine branded ones. They often contain carcinogenic chemicals like arsenic and lead.
