Shopkeeper who sold vapes to children avoids jail after judge hears of 'exemplary' Army record

A failing businessman who repeatedly sold dangerous vapes to children despite being warned by trading standards officers avoided jail due to his record serving King and Country.

Former rifleman Karamjot Singh ran two shops in Dudley after being forced to leave the life he loved in the Army due to "familial pressures" and within months started selling illegal vapes "under the counter". However, throughout 2022 he was found to be selling illegal vapes to children.
