Press and Journal
Illegal tobacco and cigarettes worth around £4,000 has been seized by Trading Standards – thanks to Boo the sniffer dog.
Officers from Trading Standards raided several businesses Buckie and Elgin on September 18.
The German Wirehaired Pointer Lab helped officers recover about £4,000 worth of illegal tobacco and cigarettes.
Councillor Marc Macrae said: “The trade in illegal tobacco undermines responsible local businesses.
“The supply of illegal tobacco is a concern for local communities and we will continue to work with partners to take action where offences are identified.”
