Numerous shops across Preston, Chorley and South Ribble have been caught by police selling age-restricted products illegally.
Lancashire Police have recently joined forces with Lancashire Trading Standards to crack down on retailers selling age-restricted products to children. During the operations which saw police visit 42 shops across West Lancashire, Chorley, South Ribble and Preston, as well as some shops in East Lancashire, their team of test buyers, who are aged between 14 and 16, tried to buy fireworks, alcohol, vapes and cigarettes.
Chief Inspector Chris Abbott said: “Selling these products to children is not only against the law but can put these young people at significant harm and can often lead to anti-social behaviour . “We will continue to work with our partners to carry out similar operations. Robust action will be taken against those who disregard their responsibilities.
