teens POLICE in the Ribble Valley have issued a .warning after bar staff were caught selling alcohol to


youngsters. Officers, assisted


by trading stand­ ards and a number . of teenage volun­ teers, carried out a test purchase op­ eration on to ensure that those working in licensed premises were meeting their responsibilities to prevent under-age alcohol sales. Eight pubs were


visited in Whalley and Longridge, with five venues failing to make the necessary checks, allowing a 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old-boy to buy bottles and pints of beer. Staff and the premises, licence holder for each pub will now meet with trading standards and the police, and a deci­ sion made about any further action. PC Ma r t i n


Midgeley, project co-ordinator for the Community Alco­ hol Network said: “I’m disappointed that premises are still selling alco­ hol to children and showing little care for age awareness. E v ery p rem ise should challenge the age of anyone who looks under 25 and enforce a no ID, no sale policy.” , He added: “'We will carry on work­ ing with the local authority to crack down on under-age sales and I urge any­ one,with concerns to contact the po­ lice.” ■.; Deputy leader of
