Wakefield Wines, better known as ‘Wakey Wines’, was reportedly searched by West Yorkshire Police with a warrant at 3.15pm on Friday. The shop’s owner, Mohammad Azir Nazir, said police entered with sniffer dogs and shut the store down for 90 minutes but left without finding anything.
In a TikTok, Nazir showcases a document provided by the police showing no drugs were found in the shop. Despite disrupting business for a short time, he still thanked the authorities for doing their jobs.
