Officers seize illegal cigarettes

The illegal cigarettes were seized in a raid on an industrial estate

Millions of illegal cigarettes have been seized during a raid on a unit at a West Yorkshire industrial estate.

About four million illegally imported cigarettes were found at Tong Park Industrial Estate when Revenue and Customs officers targeted the building.

Officers are questioning three men about the discovery.

Revenue and customs officers said the sale of illegal cigarettes was costing the government about £3bn a year in lost taxes.
