A fuel station on Hindmarsh Drive in Phillip was raided on Tuesday as part of a nationwide, multiagency operation targeting the sale of illicit tobacco and vapes.
The raids, dubbed Operation Shorthand, were carried out simultaneously at more than 100 service stations across Australia. The joint operation involved various agencies primarily the Australian Border Force (ABF), Australian Federal Police (AFP), and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC).
In Canberra, a team also including officers from ACT Policing, Access Canberra, and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) raided the Metro Petroleum outlet on Tuesday morning.
