Police seize suspected counterfeit cigarettes and tobacco in Lurgan

Police in Lurgan have seized a large amount of suspected counterfeit cigarettes and tobacco.

A PSNI spokesperson said the discovery was made on Friday when the Lurgan Neighbourhood Police Team stopped a vehicle while they were on patrol.

They added, "Counterfeit cigarettes can be of poor quality and can contain a higher level of harmful chemicals than would be found in a legitimate product.

"The persons making and selling have no care for the customer and are looking to make a quick profit at the expense of your health."
