Licensing checks

The beat team are taking a strong approach to illicit tobacco, cigarettes and vapes being sold in local stores, including to underage children. Licensing checks are consistently being targeted within the area and a zero tolerance approach has been implemented.

If you suspect any stores are contributing to this then please report to 101 non emergency or contact the local beat team on your local beat page under contact forms.
