A store in Saltcoats has had a number of illegal tobacco products seized.
Ayrshire police said that 64 packs of counterfeit cigarettes and six pouches of illicit tobacco were taken from the store.
North Ayrshire Trading Standards and Police Scotland are continuing checks in the North Ayrshire Council area after 18 pouches of illicit tobacco, 59 packets of counterfeit cigarettes, and 302 illegal vape products were seized from one Irvine store last week.
Police Scotland’s Preventions and Interventions Officer PC Jenner said: “Aside from this seizure of illicit products, the majority of local retailers demonstrated stringent ‘Challenge 25’ protocols, selling UK-compliant vape and tobacco products.”
