More infoA market trader from Derby has been fined and ordered to pay costs after he sold vapes to an underage person.
Sethi appeared before Southern Derbyshire Magistrates Court and pleaded guilty to a charge of selling nicotine inhaling products (vapes) to an underage person from his stall at Chesterfield Market.
In November 2024, Derbyshire Trading Standards Officers conducted a test purchase exercise at the market stall when two vapes were sold to a young person under the age of 18 years by an employee of Sethi.
Prior to the sale in November 2024, Trading Standards had provided Sethi with advice, support and information directly relating to underage sales on three separate occasions.
As well as the fine and costs, Sethi was also ordered to pay a £200 victim surcharge.
