£208,000 pounds of illgeal tobacco, cigarettes and vapes has been seized from off licenses across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

A multi-agency operation has resulted in officers seizing approximately 120,000 illicit cigarettes across Dartford and Gravesham.

Sniffer dog Cooper helped uncover the haul, which had been hidden inside a brick-built barbecue in the back yard of a shop in Gateshead.
