🚨 Community Update – Continued Enforcement Activity 🚔

On 28/05/2026, Kent Police, alongside partner agencies, carried out further targeted visits to several shops within the Gravesend area as part of ongoing efforts to tackle the sale of illicit tobacco.

During this activity, approximately 10,000 illicit cigarettes were seized from one premises.

This work forms part of our continued commitment to disrupt illegal activity and support lawful businesses in the community. Further action will be taken where offences are identified.

We would like to thank residents for their ongoing support. If you have information or concerns about the sale of illicit tobacco, or are aware of any shops involved, please report it to Kent Police or Crimestoppers anonymously.

Thank you,
