Revoke of Killon Street Off License due to Illegal Sales
The licensing authority in Bury revokes the license of Killon Street Off over illegal sale of cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

According to a report by the Bury Times, the license of Killon Street Off in Bury, UK, has been revoked, and the designated premises supervisor (DPS) has been dismissed. This action was taken due to the discovery of illicit sales of cigarettes and e-cigarettes in the store.

 

The City Council Committee has found that Killon Street Off License has breached its obligations to prevent crime and disorder, as well as protect children from harm. As a result, the company's license has been revoked and its designated premises supervisor (DPS) has been dismissed.

 

The local authorities' licensing hearing committee learned at a meeting last week that "illegal cigarettes and illegal e-cigarettes" were found at the premises.

 

In April, the Trading Standards Bureau and the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) executed a search warrant at the premises, uncovering 39 illegal e-cigarettes and 40 illegal packs of cigarettes.
