Massive haul of illegal vodka found on lorry
More than 13,000 litres of suspected illicit vodka labelled as olive oil have been found hidden in a lorry in Sutton-in-Ashfield.
The haul was found in Brookside Way after police tipped off customs officers.
Stuart Taylor, from, HMRC said: “Alcohol fraud costs taxpayers £1.3 billion in lost revenue each year.
“It is not a victimless crime, it breeds criminality, as well as undermining honest, legitimate traders.”
