A huge stash of illegal tobacco, vapes and cigarettes was uncovered in a convenience store in Govan on Wednesday (30 April).
The seizure followed a joint inspection between community officers in Glasgow, Glasgow City Council Trading Standards Officers and Consumer Protection Dogs UK as part of Operation CECE.
The illicit goods were hidden in various places, including a secret drawer underneath the main storage drawer below the tobacco papers display.
However, the ingenious carpentry didn’t deter tobacco detection dog Boo, who was “on top form as always” and sniffed out the contraband.
A spokesperson for Consumer Protection Dogs UK said: “A brilliant find by our team, 10k plus of cigarettes and tobacco from numerous concealments in this shop. But fantastic teamwork and trust won the day!”
