A detection dog has helped officers by sniffing out illegal vapes and tobacco being sold at businesses.
The Poole Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) said it visited two businesses in Ashley Road, Poole, on Thursday after receiving intelligence about the products being sold.
The operation was carried out with BCP Trading Standards and HMRC and Border Force, who brought along with Ellie the dog, who has been trained to identify the presence of illegal vapes and tobacco from the “distinct odour they release”.
The NPT added it also discovered a customer in one of the shops who was “immediately arrested for failing to appear at court for an outstanding matter”.
