ILLEGAL TOBACCO SEIZURE (St Austell Police)

ILLEGAL TOBACCO SEIZURE | On Tuesday 20th January one of our armed response officers stopped a driver of a car which resulted in a large amount of illegal / illicit tobacco with a potential retail value of £36,000 being seized.

Smuggled, non duty paid tobacco or counterfeit tobacco is known to fund organised crime groups with links to money laundering, drug supply and modern slavery.

Good pro active work by our armed response colleagues
