Published: Wednesday, 15 December 2010
A RESIDENT boater has been arrested as part of a Proceeds of Crime investigation into counterfeit cigarettes.
Police have arrested two men, including a resident boater moored at Thwaite Gate on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal on suspicion of conspiracy to money launder, suspicion of possession of counterfeit cigarettes and suspicion of a commercial burglary, Alan Tilbury reveals.
It was the discovery of £6,000 worth of lighting equipment found in a lorry during a raid on a container yard in Hunslet that linked the police to the discovery of the counterfeit cigarettes.
