This week, the Port Huron Police Department conducted a compliance check operation focusing on underage sales of alcohol to minors.
During the operation, police sent underage decoys into 29 Port Huron stores licensed by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission to sell alcohol. Of the 29 businesses that were checked, the majority were found to be in compliance by refusing to sell alcohol to the underage decoys.
Only two establishments were found not to be in compliance and were cited for selling alcohol to a minor.
Last year at this time, 33 Port Huron establishments were checked for compliance by the department. The 2018 raid saw six violations. In this year’s check, there were no repeat violations from last year.
