Winchester passes the test A test purchase sting in Winchester has resulted in a 100 per cent pass rate. All 12 off-licences tested by police refused to sell alcohol to under-age customers. Officers conducted the test purchase operation on Co-op, Tesco and Spar stores using two 15Ayear olds to see if they would be served. A police spokesman said: "I am pleased these results show a marked improvement from the last operation we ran."

Sunderland council's licensing sub-committee decided not to suspend or revoke owner Amrik Singh's licence after hearing that there had been no recurrence of the offence. The under-21 policy will be run on Fridays and Saturdays.
