1 Business Cited in Tobacco Compliance Checks

From Crystal Lake PD: The Crystal Lake Police Department completed another round of Tobacco Compliance Checks. During the month of May, we examined 36 separate locations licensed to sell tobacco products in Crystal Lake. In all of the 36 businesses examined, persons under the age of 18, under the guidance and supervision of Crystal Lake police officers, entered and attempted to purchase tobacco products. With the exception of one (1) business, the clerks or business employees appropriately checked the purchaser’s identification, recognized them as being underage, and did not complete the sale.

The following business illegally sold tobacco to a minor:

 Crystal Lake Smoke Vape CBD Kratom Shop – 129 N. Main Street

Crystal Lake officers cited the clerk/employee who completed the sale to a minor. An Adjudication Hearing on this matter is scheduled for 8:30am on June 14, 2019, at the Crystal Lake Municipal Center, 100 West Woodstock Street.

The Crystal Lake Police Department strives to develop partnerships with local merchants to help them achieve the goal of zero tobacco sales to minors. The Crystal Lake Police Department conducts these Tobacco Countermeasure Enforcement checks randomly throughout the year and we will continue to do so in the future.
