POLICE OBJECT TO LEASEHOLDER'S NEW LICENCE BID
Sklep Europa in West Bromwich
A BID to reopen a shop branded a “hive of illegal activity” should be rejected, say police.
Sklep Europa, in Carters Green, West Bromwich, has applied for a new licence from Sandwell Council six months after it was forced to shut over the sale of illegal tobacco and vapes, prescription-only medicines and counterfeit toys.
West Midlands Police said the shop had been “a continuous hive of illegal activity on a clearly organised scale” after it was caught selling “large quantities” of illegal goods on five separate occasions between 2024 and 2025.
The force also said the shop had been caught abstracting electricity and its supply was disconnected, only to have reopened with the electricity reconnected the next day.
