Trading Standards officers have already seized £25,000 worth of counterfeit goods, including 25,000 cigarettes, 3.4kg of tobacco and 150 high value designer products as they step up their campaign to target social media sellers.

A new hotline has been launched to encourage callers to report anonymously people they suspect are selling fake goods on Facebook.
