A man has been charged following the discovery of over one million bootleg cigarettes in a West Lothian warehouse.
The 57 year old, from Glasgow, was charged with Excise Duty fraud, after the seizure of approximately 2.2 million suspected illicit cigarettes from the warehouse in Whitburn.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) officers searching a business unit in Glasgow’s Southside on Monday uncovered eight pallets of cigarettes believed to be worth £795,000 in lost duty.
