Two markets and one hotel that serve and sell alcohol were cited in Manhattan Beach and El Segundo on April 26 for allegedly serving alcohol to a minor, police said.
The establishments include Trader Joe’s in Manhattan Beach and the Double Tree Hotel and Walgreens in El Segundo.
A decoy was sent to six on-sale establishments, which include bars and restaurants, and two off-sale establishments, which include liquor stores and grocery stores.
The individuals who sold the beverages to the minors face misdemeanor charges – a minimum fine of $250, or 24 hours of community service, police said. The businesses could face suspension or revocation of their liquor licenses.
The citations have been forwarded to ABC for review.
