Perth ‘legal highs’ row shop targeted by vandals

The smashed shopfront.

A Perth shop at the centre of a furious “legal highs” row has been targeted by vandals.

Thugs smashed up the front of the former This N That store in the city’s County Place.

It is understood they threw at least nine rocks at its window and door in the early hours of Wednesday.

Nothing appears to have been stolen although police said the matter had not been reported to them.

The shop was relaunched and rebranded at the end of the year after it was raided by police and council officers who seized thousands of pounds worth of new psychoactive substances (NPS).

The Vape Shop, as it is now known, has not opened since the Christmas break and still has a seasonal display in its front window.

Just days before Christmas, police and trading standards officers swooped on the store and another in the city seizing 535 so-called legal highs of 56 types, worth an estimated £6,000.

Afterwards, staff said they would no longer sell NPS products and would focus on vaping items imported from America and China.

The store has been the focus for a series of demonstrations by Perth Against Legal Highs campaign group.

Last month a protest was thrown into chaos when a young hooded man rushed the group and attempted to tear down their banner.

The demo had been joined by Blairgowrie woman Tracy Gow, whose sister Yvonne died after taking legal highs earlier in the year.

The shop had also featured in a BBC documentary where workers were secretly filmed selling a variety of NPS items.

No one was available to speak at the store last night, despite a hand-written sign claiming it would reopen last week.

The business’s Facebook page has not been updated since before Christmas.

Just over a year ago, the This N That shop was forced to close after vandals smashed its window display.
