Illegal tobacco and counterfeit clothing have been seized during a raid on a shop in Lancaster city centre.
A joint operation between local neighbourhood police and Trading Standards took place on Wednesday evening (May 6).
During the visit, a large quantity of illegal tobacco and cigarettes, illicit vapes, and counterfeit clothing were seized from the shop, which has not been named by police.
These items are believed to have been intended for sale within the community and have now been removed from circulation.
