Shops Closed for Selling Illegal Vapes, Tobacco

Several shops across the UK have faced legal action due to the sale of illegal vapes and tobacco products. In Spalding, two shops, Stop N Shop and Nida, received three-month closure orders after police seized illegal goods, with authorities highlighting their reliance on criminal activities for income. In Wolverhampton, Gurmej Singh's GSK Liquor Stop was suspended for six weeks after being caught with over 200 illegal vapes and other illicit items, leading the council to call for a longer suspension. Additionally, the Amsterdam off-licence in Droylsden was shut down by the courts for repeatedly selling illegal vapes and tobacco, with a three-month closure order issued to prevent further violations. Authorities are taking a firm stance against these businesses to protect community safety and ensure fair competition for legitimate retailers.
