Police and immigration officers swooped in on shop in Weymouth town centre as a man was taken away in handcuffs earlier today.

Six police cars and a Home Office van descended upon Amsterdam Market on the Esplanade near the King's Statue with a man detained by immigration officers.

A man was escorted out of the shop in handcuffs by several officers and was placed into the black of an unmarked van at around 4pm on Friday, November 15.

Police officers could be seen inside the shop stopping customers from entering as the operation took place. 

It is the latest of a string of raids to take place at the shop which sells tobacco and electronic vape products. 

In October, police officers raided the store and other raids in March and May earlier this year involved Trading Standards.
