The pretend puffers visited 13 shops in all as part of the second undercover sting by township detectives over the past year in response to residents’ complaints, Teaneck Police Chief Andrew R. McGurr said on Monday, April 24.

“Six establishments sold vape products to an underaged person,” the chief said.

Not only is selling vape products to minors illegal – so is selling flavored vape products to anyone, regardless of age, in New Jersey, McGurr said.

McGurr identified the violators as:

  • Best Stop, 540 Cedar Lane;
  • Rocklin’s Stationary, 458 Cedar Lane;
  • Teaneck City Center, 1510 Teaneck Road;
  • $0.99 Treasure, 1216 Teaneck Road;
  • Exxon gas station, 228 Teaneck Road;
  • Mr. RJ Convenience, 1440 Queen Anne Road.

Each received summonses to be answered in Municipal Court for creating and maintaining a nuisance and selling flavored vape products.
