High Street mini-marts selling cocaine and cannabis, BBC secret filming reveals | BBC News


Cocaine, cannabis, laughing gas and prescription pills are being offered for sale in mini-marts on UK High Streets, a BBC investigation has revealed.

They were readily offered to our undercover researchers who secretly filmed in shops across four neighbouring West Midlands towns.

Across the country, shopfronts are being exploited by organised criminal gangs that have gained a foothold pushing illegal drugs, say both the National Crime Agency and the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.

Responding to the BBC’s findings in the West Midlands and more widely, a senior Labour MP is now calling on the government to act urgently.
