FOREIGN TOBACCO SEIZURES


Maidstone Town Centre Team have been making arrests and seizures in relation to foreign cigarettes being sold in stores. 

 

Over the past two weeks we have seized approximately £20,000 worth of cigarettes. We collect the evidence, conduct relevant searches and make the arrests. This is then provided to HMRC to investigate. 

 

If you are aware of any shops that are selling foreign tobacco please contact Kent Police. Or if your business is suffering because of the sale of this tobacco, again please contact Kent Police.
