During recent liquor sales compliance checks, 6 locations were found to sell to minors in Danbury.  On Saturday, Police and the Liquor Control Division of the state Department of Consumer Protection visited 47 liquor stores, grocery stores and other points of sale.  Police Explorers tried to buy alcohol and 12-percent of the locations checked sold to the underage volunteers. 

The Liquor Control Division will be continuing an investigation into the 6 locations not in compliance, which will likely end with fines and administrative penalties at a later date and time.

Non-compliant locations were Grade A Market of Danbury, S&D Liquors, both on on Padanaram Road, Bevmax on Backus Avenue, J&B Wines and Spirits on Newtown Road, Edwin & Julia Liquor Store on Westville Avenue and Pague Meno’s Supermarket on Triangle Street. 

Danbury Police say 50 retailers took part in a seminar in June, which is believed to have contributed to the low number of non-compliant points of purchase.  Dichello Distributors, Inc presented training for intervention procedures and Liquor Control Division fielded questions regarding the state Liquor Control Act.
