A.V. stores survive tobacco sting


Authorities recently set up a sting operation, trying to catch stores in Apple Valley that would illegally sell tobacco to minors — and all 10 stores passed the test. Officers with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Apple Valley station and town code enforcement on Friday sent two underage decoys into 10 retail stores that sell tobacco products.

None of the Apple Valley stores agreed to sell the products to the minors, according to a sheriff’s press release. Had any of the stores sold tobacco products to the minors, the release said they would have been subject to fines from $400 to $3,500.
