Over the past couple of weeks, there has been an increase in offenders smashing their way into shops that stock cigarettes and tobacco, intelligence suggest. This may be due to a decrease in lorry traffic during Covid-19 lockdown and demand for cheap cigarettes. We urge shops/ stores and industrial estates to be vigilant and address this issue to protect their business.
