The goods that were seized were taken away in two fully loaded vans. The amount of confiscated material required the use of six containers.

The town hall notes that illegal street selling is covered by civic ordinance, the latest version of which came into force a few weeks ago. There is no report of anyone having been fined for buying from an illegal seller, this being a provision of the ordinance, as it had been under the bylaws from 2018.
