State Closes Bar in Crackdown on Crime
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
LINCOLN HEIGHTS
A bar in Lincoln Heights was closed by the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control on Thursday as part of a crackdown on alcohol-related crime in the neighborhood, officials said.
The Mi Barra bar at 128 N. San Fernando Road was closed after agents found women asking men to buy them drinks at inflated prices, later splitting the profits with the establishment.
Agents acted after receiving complaints from residents. Officials said more bar closures in the area were expected.
