Liverpool shop risks closure over illegal products seized

Police and Liverpool Council seized thousands of pounds worth of illegal vapes and counterfeit cigarettes from three shops in a recent operation. This follows ongoing efforts to combat rogue trading in the area. During the operation on February 27, officers confiscated illicit vapes, counterfeit Apple devices, and non-duty paid shisha. The total value of the seized items is estimated at £4,000. The business owner received a warning letter about a potential closure and will face an under-age test purchase visit. This action is part of the council's broader initiative to address illegal sales in the city.
