During the raid two shops were visited and a vehicle, found to contain 26,400 cigarettes, was confiscated.

All the tobacco recovered is being held on suspicion of breaches of labelling and trademark offences and some is believed to be counterfeit.

A Gloucestershire Police spokesman said a 26-year-old man from Gloucester had been arrested on suspicion of fraud.

He has been released on police bail until 15 September.

A trading standards spokesman said the operation also involved members of Gloucestershire Police and HM Revenue and Customs.

He added the raids were a result of months of intelligence gathering and surveillance.
