A sweet store located in the heart of the West End in London has been trapped selling magical fungal cookies after the police were alerted to a tourist who charged him £ 899 for two bags of sweets.

Westminster council researchers discovered that the sweet store had been selling magic fungal cookies, with four labeled as «magical dragon», while three other cookies were called «game.»
Meanwhile, CBD ‘hashish’ and ‘White White Widow’ products were also seized from the neighboring ‘Harry Potter’ store next door, according to a court.
Directed by the company ‘5IVestar Limited’, it was discovered that the popular store sold food products without English translations on the label.
It is produced after the large -scale American style raid that took place in the Sweet Shop store on the weekend of April 25 that revealed a hidden section that leads to an underground tunnel that two staff members used to flee the police.
Police officers were surprised to discover a hidden part of the store, hidden behind a camouflaged wall adorned with bags in the basement.

Bodycam images show a covert part of the store with thousands of alleged counterfeit items, with a total ‘street value’ around £ 80,000.
While broadly patrolling the scene, the officer discovered a secret tunnel from which two store assistants fled, avoiding capture, according to the standard of the night.
It was understood that the raid was the largest route of false and insecure products in Oxford Street so far, with more than 3,000 seized products of both stores, including seven magical fungus cookies and ‘about 10’ CBD products without a license.
The thousands of articles included American food, cigarettes, single -use vapo, nicotine bags, heated tobacco and travel adapters, as well as energy banks.
Now, the 399B store director, Ahmad Yar Jan, has appeared in the Court together with an individual without a name linked to the adjacent store with a magician directed by 5IVestar Limited.
The lawyer Kirsty Panton, for the Westminster City Council, said the case referred to unauthorized novel foods and products with non -English food labels.
She made clear a food condemnation order for the distribution of new goods without a license related only to Londenero.
CBD products without license ‘hashish’ and ‘White Widow’ were also seized from the neighboring store ‘Harry Potter’ next door, a court heard.

Matthew Nelson, Superior Environmental Health Officer of the Westminster City Council, said he found numerous products (in both stores) that were for sale without English translation.
«(This) raises a health risk for any client with potential allergies, or any client who wants to read nutritional statements for certain health problems, such as diabetes.»
Nelson said that in the Harry Potter store he identified a ‘cell’ CBD products that are not in the novelty register approved for the Food Security Law.
Meanwhile, in the popular American Sweet Shop store, ‘magical fungal cookies’ were discovered.
He added: «There is no transparency, we do not know where these products come from: there is no country or origin, no registered address for the manufacturer, which is legally required.»
The name of the company attached to the alleged ‘Hyper Products’, was also alleged by Mr. Nelson to appear ‘completely blank’ when Google searched, with ‘without information’ available.
Nelson said he gave the companies three weeks to provide labels translated in English for articles, «but did not receive an answer.

Mr. Jan replied: «Yes, no problem.»

Regarding the important incursion of Sweet Shop, the councilor, Adam Hug, leader of the Westminster City Council, said: ‘We have long known that US sweets stores scam customers, but collecting £ 900 for two candy packages is a new minimum, even for unscrupulous people who run these rackets.
‘Our work is to protect people who visit the West End of being exploited and continue the raids and judicial appearances will ensure that life is sour for the US Sweet Shop trade. UU.
«With luck, the fall in the number of sweets of sweets and American memories means that the tide is coming out in this trade.»
It occurs when the number of mixed sweets and souvenir stores in Oxford Street has decreased from 40 to 18 since the pandemic, from March 2025.
Commercial standards officers have seized more than £ 1 million in false and insecure goods in the last two years.
Since then, the Westminster City Council has led a series of successful judicial actions against sweets and memories to recover unpaid commercial rates.
