Fighting the crime gangs taking over the UK high streets | BBC News
Along a one-mile stretch of road near the centre of Newport, south Wales, 19 shops have been shut down in the past nine months for selling illegal tobacco and vapes.
“It’s shameful that this is happening,” Steve Hay, one of the Trading Standards team responsible for the closures, said.
He believes that the sale of illegal goods is a crime causing deep problems in the community.
Illegal cigarettes, tobacco and vape products were seized from 3,624 shops across England, Scotland and Wales in 2024-25, according to BBC Freedom of Information requests.
The Home Office said that “over 500 town centres are getting extra neighbourhood patrols” and that these would have a major role in cracking down on the sale of illegal tobacco products.

That’s according to conservationists, who worry that content creators are glamourising the animals as pets, spreading misinformation about the behaviour they show.
BBC Tech Now’s Franchesca Hashemi investigates the consequences of viral social media videos of exotic animals, and whether they are fuelling the illegal wildlife trade.

The onset of sudden, intrusive thoughts led a young woman to falsely fear she was a paedophile.
For years, Molly stayed silent until a social media video suggested it could be a lesser-known symptom of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Molly has gone from silence to sharing her OCD story online in the hope that others experiencing the same thoughts don’t feel alone.

Adaptations, remakes and reboots are all the rage right now, and there’s often one question that crops up – why?
Carrie, Prime Video’s new TV series based on Stephen King’s debut novel, has been no exception.
It’s not the first time the tale of high school bullies and supernatural powers has been adapted for the screen.
Director Brian de Palma’s 1976 movie version is a horror classic, with some of its most famous scenes and imagery widely considered iconic within the genre.
But the cast and creator of the latest version, which drags Carrie’s story forward 50 years into a world of social media, have been telling BBC Newsbeat’s Eleanor Doyle why they believe it’s still relevant in 2026.
