Shop sold knife and alcohol to children
Go Local on Kent Street in Preston can no longer sell alcohol
- Published
A convenience store has had its alcohol licence revoked after selling a craft knife and alcohol to children.
Police and Lancashire Trading Standards applied for a review of the premises licence at Go Local, Kent Street, Preston, following the sale of a craft knife to a teenage test-purchaser in May.
Four weeks earlier the shop sold alcohol to a child, the force said.
Angela Lomax, trading standards manager at Lancashire County Council said: “This is unacceptable behaviour and we hope that this shows how serious we are about preventing knife crime and raising awareness of the importance of sellers checking age related ID."
