Illegal Tobacco Seized During On 17th January 2018, a Multi Agency Task Force carried out search warrants on premises operating as 'mini markets' in Eign Gate Hereford and Drapers Lane, Leominster.
Multi Agency Task Force of Trading Standards, Police, Fire Service and Immigration in action! Tobacco was secreted within very sophisticated and specifically made devices.These pieces of criminal ingenuity were quickly 'deconstructed' by a crew from Hfd Fire Station!Assisted by a specialist trained tobacco sniffer dog, numerous 'stashes' of illicit tobacco were located.The tobacco was secreted within very sophisticated and specifically made devices operated by hydraulic remote control drawers and lifts, said PC Duncan Reynolds, from Hereford Harm Reduction unit.QuoteThese expensive pieces of criminal ingenuity were quickly deconstructed by members of Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service with state of the art cutting equipment.â€�In total 1,920 packets of fake and non-duty paid tobacco was seized along with 132 packets of hand rolling tobacco. This equates to approximately 33,000 cigarettes and £15,000 duty evasion.Four people were arrested during the raids for various offences and questioned by enforcement officers from several agencies.One person was identified as being illegally in the UK.The investigation is ongoing as enquiries continue.QuotePeople who purchase tobacco from such premises are putting their health at an additionally high risk, as many other waste products are mixed with the tobacco prior to packaging it, in order to maximise profit,added Mr Reynolds.The public are requested to pass any information with regard to the sale of illicit tobacco to either the Police, Trading Standards or Crimestoppers.This information can be passed anonymously and will help to build the intelligence around this highly organised form of offending. -

The Carrot and Wine Store in Wormelow will become home to the Post Office on Friday, January 26th.
The Post Office at the former village shop closed in 2014, and was then demolished.
When the Carrot and Wine store opened last year it presented an opportunity to restore Post Office services to Wormelow.
Post Office services will be delivered from an open-plan till alongside the retail counter of the convenience store throughout the village shop’s opening hours.The opening hours will be Monday – Sunday: 7am – 9pm, which the Post Office says will make it very convenient for customers to visit as it will be more than double the branch’s previous opening hours.The re-opening will be part of a major modernisation programme across the Post Office network designed to make it easier for customers to do business, through longer opening hours and modern open plan environments.
