A 71-year-old Malton pensioner “robbed the NHS” out of more than £54,000 through his illicit cigarette activities, York Crown Court heard. Now Kenneth Reginald Wood could lose his savings, house, car and pension as the authorities bid to recoup the money. Angus MacDonald, prosecuting, said Revenue and Customs officers found 85,500 cigarettes and 112 kilos of rolled tobacco at Wood’s rented storage unit in York. He had not paid £54,126 due in excise duty on them and other tobacco products found in Wood’s house and car. Wood told customs officers he had been selling tobacco products to “make extra money to live on,” said Mr MacDonald.
