Police have seized £20,000 worth of illegal cigarettes and tobacco after a man abandoned his car and fled from officers.
Last week, Bensham received information about a suspicious looking vehicle on Whitehall Road in Bensham. When the vehicle drove past officers, the occupant quickly ran off, leaving the car, 23,280 cigarettes and 9.1kg of rolling tobacco behind.
The items were seized with the vehicle uplifted and an investigation launched to trace the offender.
