The council said two of those vapes were themselves illegal, having excessive tank capacities.

A statement from the council added: "The two illegal vape sales led to the trading standards team seizing more illegal vapes and a quantity of illicit cigarettes and tobacco, which the retailers had concealed on their premises."
