TRADING STANDARDS WORK WITH POLICE IN CRACKDOWN

- By JOSEPH BICKLE

Cash and illicit tobacco seized as joint operation targets criminal traders

Police seized around 100kg of tobacco products

A HUGE tobacco haul and £30,000 in cash have been seized in Hythe following a joint operation led by Kent Police.

The multi-day initiative involved police and Kent Trading Standards working together to target locations where suspicions had previously been raised.

The operation, which finished on January 23, focused on ensuring local businesses were operating legally and were compliant with trading regulations.

On January 20, neighbourhood patrols in Newingreen, near Hythe, were alerted to a suspicious van on the A20, and signalled for the vehicle to stop.
