The court was told how complaints were received from members of the public regarding the sales - including on one occasion to a “vulnerable” 13-year-old.

District Judge James Hatton said: “For a lengthy period there have been ongoing problems with your shop.” He told Dr Jafar he was “entirely satisfied there has been criminal behaviour on those premises.”
