Neighbourhood police officers and PCSOs from the Flintshire North area have teamed up with Trading Standards to tackle the sale of illegal tobacco and illicit vaping products.

The joint operation was carried out as part of Neighbourhood Policing Week, with North Wales Police highlighting the public health risks posed by unregulated products.

Officers said the sale of illegal tobacco and illicit vapes can undermine legitimate businesses and is often linked to wider criminal activity within communities.
