Illegal tobacco has been seized from traders in Northallerton and Thirsk.
A joint operation between police and trading standards was aimed at locating and removing such products from circulation.
During the coordinated visits, a quantity of suspected illicit tobacco and cigarettes were located and seized.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “These products often fail to meet UK safety standards, are sold at cut price rates that harm legitimate businesses and contribute to wider criminal activity.
“We remain committed to working with our partners to keep our communities safe, protect local retailers, and disrupt those seeking to profit from illegal goods.
“If you have any information about the sale or storage of illegal tobacco in your area, please contact us on 101, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
