Thousands of illegal e-cigarettes and cigarettes seized in Huddersfield, UK: worth £25,000
Thousands of illegal cigarettes and e-cigarettes have been seized in Huddersfield, UK police say.
The joint operation with Trading Standards seized 28,000 illegal cigarettes, 1,519 oversized e-cigarettes and a large quantity of hookah.
The illegal items were found at four premises in the town during a one-day operation earlier this month.
West Yorkshire Police said sales of such items were often used to fund organized crime.
Sergeant Amanda Holroyd from the Kirklees Town Center Partnership described it as devastation to the community.
She added: "It is important that we do everything in our power to cut off the funding of serious criminal activity.
Vaping among secondary school students is on the rise, with nearly one in five 15-year-olds vaping by 2021, according to a recent NHS Digital survey.
Officials said the seized e-cigarettes, worth up to £25,000, did not comply with UK legislation.
Linda Davis, trading standards manager for West Yorkshire, said: "The illicit trade in tobacco products makes it easier for children to start smoking, exploits cash-strapped families and helps fund organized crime.
