Thousands of pounds worth of illegal tobacco and vapes were seized during a raid in Atherstone. Police and trading standards carried out the joint operation at a business on Long Street, believed to be Rose Market convenience store.
Atherstone Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) say that they seized bags full of counterfeit tobacco and cigarettes. They also took away illegal vapes.
These were found as a result of checks being undertaken at the store and a vehicle connected to it. Warwickshire Police said that no arrests have been made.
