🚨 Two Swansea Vape Shops Shut Down! 🚨
Swansea Council’s trading standards team is cracking down on illegal tobacco and vape sales, and two local shops have just felt the heat! 🔥 World Vape Shop in Pontarddulais and Snoop Vape Store on High Street have both been closed after undercover operations revealed they were selling fake and illegal products.
World Vape Shop was found with counterfeit goods hidden in a storage unit, leading to a three-month shutdown! Meanwhile, Snoop Vape Store couldn’t escape the eagle eyes of trading standards officers as they repeatedly sold illegal tobacco over two months.
Rhys Harries, the team leader, emphasised the council’s commitment to stopping the sale of these harmful products, often sold to children. “There’s more to come,” he declared, hinting at future closures based on ongoing intelligence.
Council cabinet member Andrew Williams added that this operation sends a strong message: Swansea won’t tolerate illegal trading practices. The crackdown follows a successful operation last October, where nine shops were raided, and over £70,000 worth of illegal goods were seized!
Stay tuned as the city continues to target rogue traders and protect consumers. 💪 Keep an eye out for updates on this developing story! 📣
