Manchester Seizes Million in Fake Goods | Manchester News

Manchester’s crackdown on illegal counterfeit goods just hit a major milestone—seizing over a million pounds worth of fake cigarettes, vapes, and shisha in Operation Elswick.

Hidden caches in false walls and floors exposed the scale of the operation.

Community safety and legitimate businesses are winning as agencies continue their coordinated fight against these dangerous black-market operations.
