On April 10 officers from the Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough police departments and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department conducted a compliance-check initiative for alcohol sales licensees.
Officers tested 40 retailers throughout Orange County by accompanying underage purchasers to the stores. Seven stores were caught selling alcohol to the teen purchasers: Carrboro Food Mart; Randy’s Citgo in Hillsborough; and Kerr Drug Store 303, The Crunkleton, Franklin Market, Carolina Brewery and La Nueva Guadalupana, all in Chapel Hill.
