Two Chorley shops have been shut down after repeatedly selling illegal tobacco and vapes—some even to children.
The International Store and Market Street Store were raided multiple times, with over 6,500 illicit products seized.
Chorley Police say the stores must now close for two months.
The action is part of Operation Centurion—Lancashire’s crackdown on anti-social behaviour.
