🚨 **Caernarfon Shop Shut for Selling Illegal Vapes to Kids!** 🚨
Breaking news from Caernarfon: A local convenience store on Bridge Street has been forced to close its doors for six weeks. Shockingly, they were caught selling illegal nicotine vapes and counterfeit toys to underage customers!
Trading Standards officers, with support from North Wales Police, launched a thorough investigation against the shop. The action was swift and decisive, leading to a closure order granted by Caernarfon Magistrates’ Court. The six-week closure follows an initial two-week shutdown, meaning the shop will stay shut until mid-June.
Andrew Parry from Cyngor Gwynedd’s Trading Standards had a strong message: “Selling nicotine vapes to children is illegal and highly harmful. We’re committed to protecting our communities from such dangerous practices.”
This crackdown sends a clear warning to businesses everywhere: selling restricted products to minors and stocking illegal items won’t be tolerated.
👉 Stay safe and vigilant about where you shop. Illegal vapes can contain harmful substances, including high levels of nicotine and potentially dangerous chemicals.
The council’s coordinated effort with partners like Environmental Health and National Trading Standards reaffirms their dedication to keeping our communities safe. This isn’t just a local issue – it’s a community-wide commitment to end the sale of harmful, illegal products. 🛑
Remember, everyone has a role in ensuring our neighbourhoods are safe. Be mindful of what you purchase and report any suspicious activities. Let’s stand together against illicit trade! 💪
Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s keep our streets safe for everyone. 📰✨ #Caernarfon #CommunitySafety #StandAgainstIllegalTrade
