The Case of the Smuggled Goods - Can YOU Solve the Mystery?

In the quaint town of Barnstaple, a scandal is brewing among the local retailers. Rumours are spreading that a shopkeeper in Butchers Row is selling inferior imported goods as high-quality, locally-sourced products. This has caused an uproar among the struggling retailers, who fear for their reputation and sales. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) suspects that this is the work of a notorious gang known as Fearless Take Action (FETA). The pressure is on for Police Chief Ivanta Crackadiscase to put an end to this illegal operation. That's where YOU come in, her top detectives. Do YOU have what it takes to solve the clues, uncover the leader of FETA, and reveal their weapon of choice?
