## Resource

UK police made a smoking haul—literally—when they busted a massive cigarette smuggling ring in Blaby, seizing 860,000 illegal cigarettes in a two-van operation that led to two arrests and a second bust after one suspect was spotted using his phone. HMRC is now leading the investigation, and authorities are calling it a public health win by stopping dangerous contraband from reaching consumers.
