'We've raided this shop many times - we keep finding fake cigarettes'

Translate

Trading Standards officers in Scotland say they need extra powers to help tackle what they describe as an "explosion" of illegal tobacco sales in high street shops.

The products include counterfeit cigarettes or those smuggled into the country to avoid tax.

Trading Standards link the UK-wide problem to organised crime.

The BBC's Katie Hunter joined Trading Standards officers on raids in Inverness.
