POLICE have seized around 250,000 fake cigarettes as part of an anti-counterfeit operation.
Officers from a West Yorkshire Police Neighbourhood Police Team (NPT) in Bradford East teamed up with Yorkshire Trading Standards to target shops selling counterfeit goods.
A variety of items were seized.
This included: around 250,000 fake cigarettes, tobacco, crates of illegally imported alcohol and large amounts of cash from the "proceeds of crime".
Police also arrested two people for trademark offences.
A police spokesperson said: "Counterfeit cigarettes come with massive health dangers and implications, however cheap they may seem the dangers are huge."
