A sniffer dog has helped Manchester trading standards officers discover a hidden haul of illegal tobacco.
Bruiser - an English springer spaniel crossed with a beagle - sniffed out more than 3,200 counterfeit cigarettes along with 400 grams of illicit hand rolling tobacco.
The discovery led to the prosecution of shopkeeper Akhtar Ali who was sentenced to 80 hours of unpaid work and has been ordered to pay £585.
Ali of Milwain Road, Levenshulme, was handed the sentence after pleading guilty to four offences related to the possession and supply of illicit tobacco.
