Illegal Cigarettes and Tobacco Seized in East Riding
More than 650,000 illegal cigarettes and packets of tobacco have been seized in the past six months across Hull and the East Riding.
Humberside Police’s tobacco dogs and local policing teams, along with officers from Trading Standards, have searched hundreds of premises using intelligence they’ve gathered.
These include houses, businesses, and vehicles.
During the searches, illegal goods have been found hidden in all sorts of different places.
These include in the top of fridges, behind false shelves, behind remote controlled walls, inside food containers, buried in gardens, inside false drawers or around door frames.
The Inland Revenue and HM Revenue and Customs have brought their own prosecutions, and six shops have been closed because of suspected criminal activity.
The shops that were closed were on Beverley Road, Hessle Road and Anlaby Road in Hull.
