Five sold alcohol to 16-year-old test purchasers, with staff failing to follow the Check 25 age verification policy that premises have in place. Premises that failed will be re-tested in the future, and if they fail a second time, they risk a review of the Premises Licence along with prosecution for persistently selling alcohol to children.PC Ste Connelly, from Preston’s Licensing team, said: “Children accessing alcohol often results in anti-social behaviour and criminality and these test purchasing operations will help to tackle issues within our communities.
County Councillor Michael Green, cabinet member for health and wellbeing, said: “These test purchase operations are a key part of our plans to protect the health of young people, and to reduce the burden of drinking on our communities. We will not tolerate anyone selling alcohol to underage children in Lancashire.
