“At each, they entered, found the owner, introduced themselves as police officers and asked for the owner’s liquor licence,” said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
“When the owners could not provide this they were arrested.
“It is hoped the operation will help to curb the illegal sale of alcohol, loud music and crimes we believe are related to alcohol abuse, such as assault, domestic violence and rape.”
