A drug-detecting dog called Boo became the hero of the hour after sniffing out around £1500 of fake tobacco during a search operation of Perth shops.
Information received, which indicated that fake or illicit, duty-evading cigarettes and other tobacco products were being sold led to the visits as part of Operation CeCe Scotland.
The joint initiative between Scottish Trading Standards services and Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) tackles the illegal tobacco trade at retail level.
