Shisha seizure in £60k Coventry tobacco haul
Illegal tobacco worth more than £60,000 has been seized in raids across Coventry. The city council’s trading standards team found more dodgy shisha than ever before when officers went to properties in Hillfields, Cheylesmore and Willenhall. They also discovered packs of hand rolling tobacco and cigarettes in the raids. It is believed that the items are either counterfeit, non-duty paid or not displaying the required health warnings. A total of 1,800 packs of cigarettes, 80 pouches of rolling tobacco and more than 1,000 boxes of shisha tobacco were seized – but so far no-one has been arrested. Investigations into the illegal tobacco haul are ongoing. Nigel Wooltorton, of Coventry’s Trading Standards team, said officers were determined to crackdown on the problem. He said: “The raids have resulted in the greatest single amount of illegal shisha we have seized. “We are determined to take enforcement action when needed to stamp out what can be an extremely profitable business.”
