In response to countless complaints reported to Danbury Police about blatant sales of tobacco/vape products to underage people, a compliance check was carried out on Friday. Records indicated that the Cloud House on Newtown Road was the shop most complained about. 

Six locations, including Cloud House were visited Friday by cadet volunteers under the age of 21.  Five locations asked for identification from the underage volunteers and refused to sell their products. 

The owner of Cloud House received violations for 3 separate sales, which he made without asking for identification. Saed Alkasaji made two independent sales to cadet volunteers and one to a 17-year-old, which investigators witnessed when entering the shop to take enforcement action for the earlier sales. 

Police noted that while investigators were taking enforcement action, at least five underage people entered the shop in an attempt to make purchases.
