The taverns were identified during a foot patrol of the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers witnessed community members purchasing alcohol at each of the taverns.<\/p>
\u201cWhen they approached the owners and asked for their liquor licences, none were able to provide one,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
