Police seize illegal tobacco and e-cigarette products worth £14,000
Police in Rossendale, UK seized £14,000 worth of illegal tobacco, cigarettes, and e-cigarette products in a recent operation.

According to the Lancashire Evening Post on February 5th, the Rossendale police in the UK successfully seized illegal tobacco, cigarettes, and e-cigarette products worth around £14,000 in a recent joint enforcement operation with the local trading standards authority. The operation involved surprise inspections of several local shops, and a large quantity of illegal products was found in two of the shops.


The joint enforcement action was carried out last week, with police working together with staff from the Trading Standards Bureau to inspect multiple shops in the Rosendale area of the UK, including Haslington, Rothensdale, and Watford. According to a police spokesperson, during the inspections, enforcement officers discovered a large quantity of illegal tobacco, cigarettes, and e-cigarette products in two of the shops, with a retail value exceeding £14,000. The illegal products have been confiscated by the police, and further enforcement measures will be taken against the related shops by the Trading Standards Bureau.


A spokesperson for the police emphasized that these illegal products not only violate relevant laws and regulations, but may also pose serious health risks to consumers. The police will continue to cooperate with departments such as the Trade Standards Bureau to strengthen efforts to crack down on illegal tobacco and e-cigarette products.
