Four shops in Suffolk have been caught selling restricted products, including vapes and alcohol, to underage children.

Using a volunteer under the age of 18, they visited shops in Ipswich, Felixstowe, Leiston, Woodbridge, Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury and Haverhill.
According to Suffolk Trading Standards, one shop sold alcohol to the teenager, while three others sold them vapes.
