More than 900 illegal “supersized” vapes have been seized from shops in North Lanarkshire this week.
Police and trading standards teams worked together to recover the “non-compliant” vapes from various premises in Airdrie, the council said.
The vapes, which have 10ml and 15ml tanks, exceed the legal limit of 2ml, and are illegal to sell as they are not correctly registered.
