A large haul of illegal cigarettes and tobacco have been seized in Salford as part of a crackdown on dodgy goods.
Over 20,000 illegal cigarettes and five kilos of illicit hand rolling tobacco worth up £13,000 were taken from six shops in Swinton and Eccles on Sunday (March 20).
The operation was carried out Salford City Council's trading standards team who were supported by a police officer and two diligent sniffer dogs called Ricco and Bessie.
