THOUSANDS of pounds’ worth of illegal vapes have been found hidden under the floorboards of a Rugby shop.
Police and Trading Standards officers raided two ‘suspicious’ shops in the town on Wednesday (November 6).
The raids were conducted simultaneously to prevent the two shops from tipping each other off.
Thousands of pounds’ worth of illegal vapes and tobacco were found at the stores.
In one of the shops, officers noticed something suspicious about the floorboards.
The floorboards lifted up to reveal a stash of yet more illegal vapes.
In total, officers seized 1,357 packets of cigarettes, 78 pouches of tobacco and 2,395 vapes.
