Residents warned to be on lookout for dangerous fake Chekov vodka in circulation
RESIDENTS are being warned after police stated a batch of dangerous fake vodka which may put lives at risk could be in distribution around the region. A quantity of counterfeit alcohol and tobacco was seized from a vehicle in Runcorn during a joint operation by the police and Halton Trading Standards and further supplies of fake alcohol were found at another address in Halton. And initial investigations suggest the product could be in circulation around the North-West.Tests of the fake Chekov brand vodka have found the product contains very high levels of methanol, which is extremely poisonous and can cause blindness, seizure, organ failure and in extreme cases death. The product is a counterfeit version of a genuine product sold by the brand owner Booker Wholesale. It is thought the product has been sold in the Halton and Chester areas but initial investigations suggest the product could also be in circulation throughout the North West.
