Are some of Britain’s vape shops a front to groom schoolchildren?
There are calls for strict new checks on vape sellers after a police warning that vape shops and mini marts are being used as fronts to groom schoolchildren.
We hear from a survivor who was 14 when she was raped by a shop owner who befriended her and her friends in South London.
The man lured the child and her schoolfriends to a back room den with free vapes, some laced with synthetic cannabis.
He was already on bail for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old at his previous vape shop.
The lead Met Police detective on the case is urging other victims to come forward.
