Licensed venues have been reminded to check age IDs of anyone who appears under the age of 25 after a bottle shop in the Sutherland Shire had its licence suspended for serving alcohol to minors.
The business Woronora Cellars at Woronora had its licence suspended for 3 days from 4 April to 6 April after police officers discovered the store had served alcohol to minors under the age of 18.
Last year in October police found out from 2 minors aged 16 and 17 that they purchased six 750ml long neck beer bottles from the store.
The licensee then admitted to police that he failed to ask for age identification before selling alcohol to minors.
He paid a $1100 fine and had the store’s licence suspended for 3 days.
