Closure Order

    Good Evening

 Rossendale Neighbourhood Policing Team have secured a Closure Order for the European Mini Market on Manchester Road, Haslingden.

This action was the result of a joint operation between Lancashire Police and Trading Standards, targeting the ongoing concern and supply of illegal and illicit tobacco, cigarettes, vapes, and e-cigarettes.

Over the past 12 months, four joint inspections have taken place at the premises, resulting in the seizure of illicit products valued at over £30,000. The application for the Closure Order was supported by evidence provided by the local community.

On Wednesday 15th October 2025 Burnley Magistrates Court granted a Closure Order for a period of three months, the maximum length available, effectively prohibiting access to the property during this time.
