Thousands of vapes and cigarettes that did not meet legal standards have been sized, police say.

Also seized were 235 pouches of tobacco, 80 bottles of counterfeit perfume and 38 items of counterfeit clothing.Police said they had been made aware that devices which did not meet legal standards were in circulation.

Linda Davis, West Yorkshire Trading Standards manager, said the illegal trade of smoking products "takes advantage" of cash-strapped families. She added: "We would always remind members of the public of the adverse health, economic and social impacts of the illicit trade of tobacco products, including the linkages with human trafficking and a wide range of organised crimes."
