Two shops failed an undercover test purchasing operation in Oxford yesterday.
Undercover licensing officers accompanied two teenagers, aged 15 and 16, to four licensed premises in Oxford where they attempted to buy alcohol.
A member of staff working in Spar in Dunnock Way, Blackbird Leys, was issued with an £80 fixed penalty notice after serving both boys alcohol and cigarettes.
The same fine was issued to a member of staff working in Park Stores in Florence Park Road, Cowley, where the boys were also served alcohol and cigarettes.
Thames Valley Police licensing officer, Tony Cope, said: "We are carrying out these operations throughout Oxfordshire to ensure proper procedures are in place.
"We will then help these premises to ensure that all members of staff are trained correctly.
"If a licensed premise fails these operations three times, we then consider reviewing their licence and it can be revoked."
