A Whittlesey shop said to be a front for “organised crime” has been shut by Cambridgeshire police. A police spokesperson said the temporary closure follows complaints “sales of illicit items and organised crime”.

The partial closure order was served on The Whittlesey Local Store, 46 Market Street, Whittlesey, yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) by the Neighbourhood Support Team following a successful application at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court.

PC James Rice, who applied for the closure order, said: “We applied to the courts for the business to be closed due to persistent issues in the store around things such as the sale of illegal vapes to children and other illicit items such as non-duty paid products.

“Circumstances such as these are often a front for organised criminality and anti-social behaviour which has detrimental effects in our communities.

“As a force we are committed to tackling organised crime, working alongside partner agencies including Trading Standards and the local council, but most importantly, members of our communities.”
