A white van containing more than £40,000 worth of counterfeit cigarettes was found at the rear of an east Leeds shop, a licensing hearing has been told.
Maxi Foods, at 268 – 270 Harehills Lane, has been accused by police of owning the stash and covertly selling illicit tobacco to customers. Officers want the store to lose its premises licence as a result. Maxi Foods, which also runs two other stores in Harehills, denied the claims. The company’s solicitor told Tuesday’s hearing there was “no evidence” linking the van to the shop.
“It allows them easy access to and from the store, but it also gives them plausible deniability,” he said. A Trading Standards representative told the hearing the van was later found to have been untaxed and uninsured and had not been driven for at least 12 months before it was discovered. But Maxi Foods’ solicitor, Chris Rees-Gay told the hearing there was “no evidence linking the van to the premises”. He suggested the vehicle had been used by another shop in the area.
