A UK convenience store lost its licence after an employee sold alcohol to a child and drunk person, following prior violations.

A Skipton convenience store, Lewiatan, lost its licence after a worker sold alcohol to a child and a drunk person, prompting a North Yorkshire Council hearing. The decision followed prior penalties for selling fake tobacco, false vodka labels, and illegal vapes. The employee, Milad Karimi, 26, was fined £200. A coroner’s inquest related to the store is pending. The owner, Saheb Sadeqhi, plans to appeal. The hearing was closed to the public due to ongoing investigations, and the council declined to comment.
