Tobacco seized from the shop A WARNING has been issued to shopkeepers who sell illegal cigarettes after a West Yorkshire shop lost its alcohol licence. Revoking the licence at Polksi Sklep in Dewsbury town centre was deemed necessary to send a message to shopkeepers that such activity would not be tolerated. Almost 76,000 illicit cigarettes along with £10,000 in cash was found in March during a raid on the shop on Foundry Street by police and trading standards staff using a sniffer dog. They discovered an ingenious chute that allowed counterfeit tobacco to be sent from an upstairs room to a drawer behind the counter.
