Tens of thousands of cigarette packets being sold illegally from a house in Wolverhampton have been seized after a raid by officers.

Wolverhampton council had received reports that cigarettes were being sold illegally from a home, in Low Hill, and went to investigate with tobacco sniffer dog Scamp.

A 'shocking' variety of fake and genuine cigarettes - which have avoided UK duty were discovered.

Along with West Midlands Police, a trademark expert and specialist search dogs from B.W.Y Canine Ltd, the team inspected the entire house to search for hidden tobacco.

And an estimated £40,000 worth of fake goods were found stored in garden sheds, as well as bedrooms and the living room of the property.
