An indoor market in Weston-super-Mare has been forced to close for three months after drugs and weapons were found on the premises. A closure order granted by North Somerset Magistrates Court yesterday (March 8) means that Mini Mall can not open until May.
Owners of the troubled shop have also been accused of selling vapes to kids. Avon and Somerset Police issued a warning along with Trading Standards South West about the spread of vape pens to kids after numerous complaints.
The statement describes them as "low-cost flavoured e-cigarettes that are child-appealing". The pens are being obtained by children, "despite the law restricting their sales to over-18s only."
