A Birmingham vape shop in Erdington was shut down after authorities uncovered it selling dangerous, unregulated vapes — part of Operation Fearless, a major crackdown launched in January 2025. The store, boarded up on August 11, 2026, was found peddling products with dangerously high nicotine and harmful chemicals like formaldehyde. Local councillors praised the move as a step toward safer High Streets and stronger enforcement, highlighting how coordinated action between police, Trading Standards, and city officials can effectively combat illegal trading and protect public health.
