| Masterminds behind a £10million fraud which saw the UK's largest illegal tobacco factory produce 140 packs of cigarettes a minute have been jailed.
John Watson Snr, 47, who was a director of Doncaster Greyhound stadium, Terence Jacques, 60, and security guard Russell Haywood, 48, led a 12-man gang who made millions of counterfeit cigarettes which were distributed across the North of England.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) carried out coordinated raids at properties linked to the men in County Durham and South Yorkshire in November 2015.
Officers discovered the largest tobacco factory ever encountered by HMRC inside a farm unit in Crook, County Durham.
'Trade in illegal tobacco undermines legitimate traders, including small, independent shops that serve local communities, and takes funding away from our vital public services.
In total, HMRC seized cigarettes, tobacco and associated paraphernalia capable of evading more than £10 million in duty.
Proceedings are underway to recover the unpaid duty.
