Two retailers sold age restricted products - including alcohol and a vape - to a minor during a trading standards operation.
Suffolk Trading Standards officials carried out checks at premises across east Suffolk earlier this week.
In total five sites were visited in Bungay, Halesworth, Lowestoft and Saxmundham - with two retailers selling age restricted products to an underage volunteer.
A Suffolk Trading Standards spokesman said: "One sold a vape, the other sold alcohol.
"Intelligence was received from police and members of the public on all of the retailers, with each given advice in previous months on their responsibilities.
"Each retailer was told that we would be visiting to test their due diligence.
"Investigations will continue."
The legal age to buy alcohol, vapes or e-cigarettes in the UK is 18.
If you have any information on age-restricted products being sold to minors, report it to Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133.
