Dear Members, 

Officers from Coalville Beat Team with help from PC 4652 have undertaken a test purchasing operation at off-licences. This is following reports made to both the Police and Council suggesting that some of the stores were involved in the selling of alcohol to children. A total of 8 stores were visited today and unfortunately, 4 of those have failed. Those that have breached were spoken to and will be dealt with formally by the police. A report of the breaches has also been shared with the licencing team at North West Leicestershire District Council. We thank those members of the public who reported this to us, and we encourage any concerns around the selling of age-restricted items to be reported, this can be completed via our website. 

Thank you for your continued support.
