Woman's slap on the wrist for illegal tobacco sales


A woman who was illegally selling thousands of pounds worth of tobacco has avoided a jail sentence. Rosemarie Ann Burton of Swan Close, Weston-super-Mare, entered five guilty pleas at North Somerset Magistrates Court following a raid on her home. She was suspected for selling tobacco bought abroad and from a lorry driver friend.

She admitted selling hand-rolling tobacco without correct safety labelling and pictures and failing to display a notice stating that it is illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone under 18. Two purchases of tobacco totalling £20,387.50 were seized. They are thought to have a retail value of £41,000. She was given a curfew from 7pm to 7am and ordered to pay £2,000 costs.
