Illegal vapes and cigarettes taken off the streets in Newton Abbot


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We recently seized £7,500 worth of suspected illegal tobacco, cigarettes and vapes. 

Working together with Trading Standards, we were able to haul in a total of illicit tobacco products, including a total of 529 packs of cigarettes and 414 pouches of tobacco. We also seized 30 non-UK compliant vapes.

This seizure was a really positive outcome for the community because:

  • Illegal goods aren’t regulated

  • They don’t go through the usual safety procedures required by law in the UK (which are in place to keep you safe)

  • It also means we don’t know what’s in them

    If you want to report any concerns of illegal tobacco or vapes, please contact Trading Standards: tradingstandards@devon.gov.uk

    Please continue to report to the police if you know something about a crime, or see something that doesn't look right. Click here to report now. Thank you.
