UNDERCOVER OPERATION WAS CARRIED OUT BY TRADING STANDARDS
A CONVENIENCE shop in Birmingham was caught selling alcohol to a child in an undercover operation.
The 7 Star Food and Wine shop in Glenpark Road, Alum Rock, sold booze to an underage teenager in an operation organised by Birmingham's Trading Standards department.
Concerns were raised about the shop, prompting the visit with two 16-year-olds in January.
The council used twins - a boy and girl - to see if the shop would challenge them when they tried to buy alcohol.
Just after 11am on January 2, trading standards enforcement officer Paul Ellson entered the shop, where a man was serving behind the till.
Then the two 16-year-olds went in, picked up a bottle of WKD Blue and went to the till.
