More than 90,000 cigarettes and 3.5 tonnes of tobacco were discovered at five stores in the city, with detection dogs finding illegal cigarettes hidden behind a toilet in one of them.

Police and officers from Lincolnshire's Trading Standards raided the shops in February and earlier this month.

Products were found hidden behind a toilet in one shop and inside a disguised magnetic compartment within a tiled wall in another.

The landlords of two of the shops evicted their tenants after the first raids, while the other three shops were visited again last week and were still found to be selling illicit tobacco.

Investigations continue to bring prosecutions against the retailers, according to Trading Standards.

A friendly match between two Lincolnshire football clubs last night turned out to be anything but that.

Grantham Town took on Stamford at the Vic Couzens Stadium, but the match was abandoned at half-time as Grantham trailed by two goals.

Stamford boss Graham Dury said: "I think there were five or six nasty challenges from the opposition...which you don't really want when you've got an FA cup game in two weeks."
