More than a dozen bags of illegal vapes were seized from a business by Norfolk police last week.
The 13-bag bust followed reports that non-UK-regulated vapes were being sold to children from a shop in Dereham and was carried out by police and Trading Standards on the afternoon of Friday, April 14.
Despite the legal age to buy a vape being 18, it has been previously reported that 10pc of 11 to 15-year-olds are using or have used vapes.
You regularly tell us that illegal vapes and the sale of vapes to children is something you are concerned about. Three officers did a joint visit with @NorfolkCCTS to one shop in #Dereham on Friday afternoon and seized 13 bags of illegal vapes. pic.twitter.com/QUcyi98l2l
