Underage Drinking Enforcement Op Back in Somers, Lewisboro, North Salem and Pound Ridge

Troopers from the New York State Police Barracks in Somers conducted an underage drinking enforcement operation in Northern Westchester County on April 24.

Retail establishments were checked throughout Somers, Lewisboro, North Salem, and Pound Ridge by sending an 18-year old volunteer to purchase alcohol under the observation of plainclothes investigators supported by uniformed troopers.

During an enforcement detail conducted in February, two store clerks were charged with selling alcohol to someone under 21.

This time all the retail establishments were in compliance and no sales were made to the volunteer.

The New York State Police, with investigative support provided by the New York State Liquor Authority, routinely conducts underage drinking enforcement operations throughout the state in an effort to curb alcohol abuse and DWI incidents among teenagers.
