Suspected stolen electrical items including sat navs, cameras, phones and DVDs were also found at Oak News & Booze on Oak Road, said officers.

The cigarettes are believed to have not had duty paid on them.

Two men aged 25 and 27 were arrested on suspicion of money laundering and handling stolen goods.

They were also arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug after suspected Class A drugs were discovered.

Both have been released on police bail pending further enquiries following Wednesday's raid.
