A store in Oakville has received a warning from Halton Regional Police after the non-essential business was found open this week during the coronavirus pandemic.
Police responded to complaints Tuesday about a vape shop being open in contravention of a provincial order to close. Officers issued the owner a warning for failing to comply with an order made during a declared emergency.
The business was also charged with selling vapour products to a person under 19. Police also noted the store had no screening signage for COVID-19, there were no protective barriers for staff or customers, and no restrictions on the number of people allowed in the store at one time.
