Barking and Dagenham Council says officers seize 113,000 cigarettes during an illicit tobacco raid at a premises in Heathway in east London. The council says the action, carried out earlier this month, is one of its largest ever illegal tobacco hauls. The reports state that the cigarettes were found on the premises as part of enforcement activity targeting illegal tobacco sales. Both sources describe the same quantity of cigarettes seized and the same location and council involvement. They provide limited additional detail about arrests or charges, and do not specify whether other tobacco products or related items were recovered. The council frames the seizure as a significant disruption to illegal trade in the borough, but the coverage focuses mainly on the haul size and the raid location. Further information such as the number of people detained, the outcome of any investigations, or follow-up legal proceedings is not included in the excerpts provided.
