Members of the Regional Street Enforcement Team (SET) conducted an underage alcohol compliance operation during this weekend’s Santa Crawl.
Two 20-year-old volunteers, one 18-year-old volunteer and one 19-year-old volunteer tried to purchase alcohol at 39 different participating Santa Crawl venues. Four non-participating liquor stores were also checked and passed.
