Skipton shop stripped of licence after child sold alcohol (original) (raw)

The 26-year-old employee, from Keighley, was fined £200 at Skipton Magistrates' Court for the offences, which happened in July.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the owner of the shop, Saheb Sadeqhi, did not attend the licensing hearing due to illness but was represented by his solicitor.

After the hearing, Sadeqhi said he planned to appeal the decision.

In 2024, the store was prosecuted for selling illegal vapes, while in 2022 it was fined for selling fake tobacco and falsely labelled vodka.

North Yorkshire Council declined to comment on the case due to ongoing investigations.
