00:00A deep fat fryer stuffed with illegal tobacco discovered during a Medway Trading Standards
00:07operation with Kent Police that took around £650,000 of illegal products off the streets.
00:16If you have a shop that is selling illegal tobacco it's a fair assumption that they may
00:21also be either participating in another illegal activity or they might not be as careful as they
00:27should be in terms of who they sell those products to. So really important from a public health
00:33perspective in Medway that we make sure that the law around tobacco sales are enforced properly.
00:40This was the K9 crack team that were deployed as part of the raid helping to uncover nearly 1.5
00:49million illegal cigarettes that were seized during the operation alongside nearly 150 kilograms of
00:58hand rolling tobacco and more than 1,000 illegal vapes. Those responsible now face the prospect of
01:06prosecution and potential fines of up to £10,000. When it comes to selling illegal products
01:14there's clearly no place to hide Olly Lieder in Medway.
