Illegal tobacco, vapes and shisha have been seized from a shop in Milton Keynes.
Milton Keynes Trading Standards have seized over 1,200 packs of illegal tobacco from a store in Milton Keynes.
Alongside the illegal tobacco, Milton Keynes Trading Standards say illegal vapes and shisha were also found in a 'sophisticated hide' within the shop.
The shop is located in Bletchley.
South East Organised Crime Unit, Thames Valley Police and B.W.Y Canine Ltd assisted Milton Keynes Trading Standards in seizing the items.
Earlier this year, it was announced by the government that new sanctions were coming into effect for people found selling illicit tobacco products.
The new powers could lead to penalties of up to £10,000 for any businesses found selling illegal products.
