We recently seized over £7,800 worth of suspected illegal tobacco, cigarettes and vapes in Torquay.
Working together with Trading Standards, we were able to haul in a total of illicit tobacco products, including a total of 333 packs of cigarettes and 119 pouches of tobacco. We also seized 266 non-UK compliant vapes.
This seizure was a really positive outcome for the community because: Illegal goods aren’t regulatedThey 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 themIf 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. Thank you. Click here to access the online Devon & Cornwall Police reporting form.
