8 of 25 Eateries Cited in Alcohol Sting
The Police Department recently cited eight restaurants in Brea and Yorba Linda for selling alcohol to minors during a sting operation in which 25 eateries were visited.
The crackdown was part of an ongoing effort, funded by a grant from the state, aimed at reducing alcohol sales to young people, police said.
During the operation, officers sent an underage “decoy” to restaurants to try to purchase alcoholic beverages while being watched by police.
Police plan to continue the program through the rest of this year, officials said.
