A shop in Nottinghamshire has been closed by police after selling vaping products to children. A temporary closure notice was issued against Mansfield Express, in West Gate, after it failed an earlier test purchase.
Officers attended the shop on a Sunday afternoon to seek further information. They were greeted by a 15 year old boy working alone inside.
An immediate 24-hour closure order was imposed and later extended ahead of a hearing at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 10 January. The order, issued under the Antisocial Behaviour Crime and Policing Act, was approved by a magistrate and will remain in place for the next three months.
