Swoop nets 6m fake cigarettes
Tuesday 10th November 2009, 11:30AM GMT.
Six million fake cigarettes have been seized from an Aldridge industrial unit, it was revealed today.
The haul of counterfeit goods was hidden in boxes labelled as mixed vegetables and would have cost the public purse around £500,000 in lost tax revenue.
Keith Morgan, detection manager for HM Revenue & Customs, said no arrests had yet been made but that investigations were under way. He would not reveal which unit had been targeted in Friday’s raid.
