PORT HURON (WWJ) -- The Port Huron Police Department is cracking down on the sale of vaping and tobacco products to minors.
In an operation on Wednesday, Police sent out underage decoys into 34 Port Huron businesses to find out if any would sell them vaping or tobacco products.
Only one business -- the Amoco gas station on Pine Grove Avenue -- was not in compliance with the law and sold those products to the minors. It was not clear what penalties the gas station will be facing.
