An off-licence in Harehills has had its licence revoked after tens of thousands of pounds worth of illegal tobacco was found at the shop.
According to trading standards and police, those running Mama Mia Convenience Store in Harehills Lane were “effectively sticking two fingers up” at authorities, as they continued to sell illicit alcohol and tobacco even after police raids at the back end of 2020.
A meeting of Leeds City Council’s licensing sub-committee also heard how police found £33,000 in cash at the premises.
