The illegal cigarettes trade in the UK signals a deeper problem & laughing criminals (UK)4/July/2025

Shop after shop in the same high street even selling illegal tobacco (some may be filled with sawdust and asbestos). And the criminals allowed to keep trading and laughing at the public and even police and even trying to stop the news filming these criminals. (). Just have a law/rules that they do it twice, shut their shop down and forbid them to ever run a shop like this ever again - STOP ****** LETTING THEM KEEP ON COMING BACK OVER AND OVER AGAIN! LET THEM GET CRIMINAL RECORDS AND BECOME ROADSWEEPERS AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL! IF ITS ILLEGAL TO DO THIS AND THEY KEEP BREAKING THE LAW, THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS RUNNING A SHOP LIKE THIS! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's pitch black and we're crawling along a secret underground tunnel beneath a high street in Hull. We pass rotting beams propped up precariously by stacked breeze blocks. A rusty car jack is helping prevent the shop floor above from falling in. Through the rubble, we follow a Trading Standards Officer, his torch swinging back and forth in the darkness until it rests on a hidden stash of thousands of illegal cigarettes. This is just one such surreal experience while investigating the sale of illegal cigarettes in Hull. In one week we repeatedly witnessed counterfeit and smuggled tobacco being sold in high street mini marts - and were threatened by shop workers who grabbed our cameras when we tried to film them. This is now a familiar story being repeated across Britain. In April, the National Crime Agency (NCA) raided hundreds of high street businesses, many suspected of being supplied by international crime gangs. Trading Standards teams have also found a thriving trade in illicit tobacco. There is now a crime playlist on the channel if you are interested as well.
