According to a report from the Manchester Evening News on September 5th, the police in the city of Oldham, UK, seized illegal tobacco products worth £50,000 in a joint operation.
During this operation, specially trained drug-sniffing dogs Skye and Louie assisted law enforcement officers in seizing over 78,000 illegal imported cigarettes, 11 kilograms of loose-leaf tobacco, and 2,578 non-compliant disposable e-cigarette products. The seized e-cigarette products included products from the e-cigarette brand "HAYATI".
The police received a tip-off about children buying unauthorized e-cigarettes, leading to surprise inspections of 9 stores.
The cabinet member responsible for public protection at Oldham Council, Councillor Chris Goodwin, stated that...
Smoking and the dangers of it, as well as the illegal trade of tobacco, have been a problem for many years. However, in recent years, we have noticed a growing presence of illegal e-cigarettes on the streets. These e-cigarettes not only contain illegal levels of nicotine, but they also target young people, which is unacceptable. Selling e-cigarettes to those under 18 is not only against the law, but we will also continue to conduct raids and confiscations throughout the area.
