Nuh-uh, that's a big no-no

Singapore police have said that two establishments in Little India have been found to have breached the licensing restrictions on the sale of alcohol on December 22.

The first case was detected on Sunday at 12.46am.

Police came across a man carrying a can of unopened beer along Chander Road. He told the officers that he had purchased the can of beer from a shop along Chander Road.

The beer was seized as a case exhibit and the man's particulars were recorded to assist with follow-up investigations.

Police said preliminary investigations revealed that the proprietor of the outlet was believed to have sold the beer during the stipulated hours of the Suspension Notice on Sale of Intoxicating Liquor.

In the second incident, at 12.50am on Sunday, officers conducted a check at an eatery at Jalan Besar and found that it was serving alcohol.

Further checks revealed that the eatery does not have a valid licence for the sale of liquor. Police said they have seized the liquor found in the store.

In the statement, police said they are treating the two incidents "very seriously".

In addition to the cases above, one person was also found drinking alcohol within the proclaimed area over the weekend.

He complied with the police warning to stop and police seized the alcohol in his possession. He will be issued with a police advisory.
