More than £10,000 of booze has been seized from a shop which had previously been banned from selling alcohol. When officers attended Ramiro’s Off Licence, St Helen’s Road, last year they found the huge haul of beer, wine and spirits, despite them being stripped of their licence after an earlier illegal tobacco sting.
Now shop owner Jennifer Bogdan and manager Sylvia Kone-Grain have been fined more than £3,000 after appearing in court. The pair entered the dock at Bolton Magistrates Court on Friday, March 3 charged with selling, displaying and keeping alcohol under section 136 of the licensing act, to which they pleaded guilty.
Bogdan was fined £1,027 and ordered to pay £1,000 costs. Kone-Grain was fined £1,274 and ordered to pay £500 costs.
