Shop boss caught with 6,000 illegal cigarettes after trying to ‘hide stash under counter’

The judge had issued two warrants for his arrest after he failed to turn up at court but he was finally sentenced this month.

The shop did sell genuine tobacco but Amini confessed he paid ‘much less’ than he should have after buying them from a door-to-door salesman.
Councillor Garry Perry, deputy leader for resilient communities said: “This investigation clearly demonstrates the persistence and continued efforts our trading standards team in partnership with West Midlands Police go to to investigate and bring to justice the perpetrators involved in illegal trade.
