Three are caught in alcohol sting
Three out of seven off-licences tested during an undercover operation in Gloucestershire sold alcoholic drink to an under age volunteer.
Staff failed to ask the 16-year-old boy for identification at the stores which were all in the Forest of Dean, said a Gloucestershire Police spokesman.
Pc Duncan Sleeman said: "This is disappointing. Warning letters have now been sent to those that failed.
"We will also be hosting meetings with the managers of the off-licences."
