Staff at the other premises requested Proof of Age and as a result refused to sell. The exercise follows on from similar operations throughout the year. In previous exercises in which off licences throughout the Wrexham area have been targeted, only three test purchase attempts resulted in sales. The remaining 43 attempts resulted in refusals, often following requests to provide proof of age. Inspector Alex Goss n. 1. Gorse. of North Wales Police said: "It is disappointing that premises have sold alcohol to young people who are obviously underage. "It is something which we and our fellow organisations in The Wrexham Community Safety Partnership take very seriously and we will continue to actively police this issue". Councillor David Bithell, Wrexham Council's lead member for environment and transport said: "I'm pleased to see that funding provided by the Community Safety Partnership is leading to effective operations aimed at tackling the serious problem of underage drinking." |
