A HUGE haul of illegal vapes have been recovered.

West Mercia Police and Trading Standards joined forces to stamp out illegal sales in Worcester.

Two stores selling contraband vapes were found, with 37 bags filled.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police added: “The City Team including police officers and trading standards visited 12 shops in Worcester city centre yesterday and spoke to owners and managers about the sale of knives, providing advice and a poster for them to display. 

“Discussions included awareness of knife crime and age enforcement for knives, alcohol and cigarettes.

“We identified two stores selling illegal vapes and one with contraband cigarettes.

“We also located one that had razor blades on sale with no signage.”

Worcestershire Trading Standards took to social media to show off the haul collected.

“Following on from our last clear out, another 37 bags full of illegal and non-compliant vapes ready for disposal - contains oversized, incorrectly labelled & trademark infringing vapes,” read a tweet.

“Also some zero per cent nicotine vapes with nicotine in.”
