Tens of countless unlawful cigarettes were found in stores in Glasgow’s southside following a search.

An experienced tobacco detection dog, called Boo, exposed 50,000 unlawful cigarettes throughout searches of 4 stores in Govanhill.

The shop check outs were performed as part of Operation CeCe Scotland, a joint effort in between Scottish Trading Standards Services and HMRC which intends to deal with the unlawful tobacco trade at retail level. 

Glasgow City Council said it was “treats ahoy” for Boo, who is trained to seek tobacco that has actually been concealed and would not show up throughout a regular evaluation. 

Boo’s abilities permit officers to discover items which would be possibly harmful and hazardous. 

A Glasgow City Council representative said: “Our recent operation, in collaboration with Police Scotland, was a success thanks to Boo, the tobacco detection dog who assisted trading requirements officers reveal over 50,000 illegal cigarettes in 4 facilities in the Govanhill location.

“The check outs were performed as part of Operation CeCe Scotland which is a joint effort in between Scottish Trading Standards Services and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to deal with the unlawful tobacco trade at retail level. 

“Boo is trained to sniff out tobacco that’s been purposefully hidden in locations which would not have been apparent during a routine inspection allowing officers to find potentially dangerous and harmful products.”
