Available for over a year

Three months on from an undercover BBC investigation into mini marts selling cocaine, cannabis, and prescription medicines being sold over the counter in one part of the Black Country, the team have been back to see how things have changed. Following the BBC News investigation in the Black Country - the Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced new powers to tackle the spread of unpopular vape shops, and "dodgy" mini-marts by changing planning laws.
