Oxford Street sweetshops probed for selling alleged fake goods and dodging tax

Dozens of shops in London's famous Oxford Street are being investigated for allegedly dodging £7.9million of business tax.

Thirty shops selling American sweets are in the spotlight of Westminster Council, which says it has seized £474,000 of illegal and knock-off items from the stores in just six months.

American candy stores have sprung up along Oxford Street in recent years.
