    Wakefield District Licencing team has been working closely with partners from Trading Standards and Wakefield Council’s Anti-Social Behaviour Unit over the last two years to tackle to illegal sales of tobacco.

    Police Sergeant Mark Thorgold from Wakefield District Licencing team said: “We have tried to work with the premises over the last couple of years, but it has repeatedly been caught in criminal activity. We had no other option other than to issue the closure notice and pursue the closure order at court.
