PARTY BUSES * New Zealand - Inspectors to tail teenagers' ones
Auckland,NZ -The New Zealand Herald, by Alanah May Eriksen -17 May 2010: -- Manukau's liquor licensing agency is drawing up a list of school ball dates, and will send inspectors to follow buses to after-ball parties in a bid to stop alcohol being supplied to minors... The agency has vowed to block all "after-balls" supplying alcohol to minors following an early-morning bust at the weekend of a van-load of booze meant for party-hopeful teens... Principals in the area have given the agency and police a list of school ball dates... The Herald on Sunday said a large white van full of ready-to-drink spirit mixes and beer, driven by an adult who was said to be the parent of a student, left the venue... After the alcohol was removed, police cars followed the buses to make sure students still went to the alcohol-free event, rather than elsewhere... Mr Radich said police could lay several charges including unauthorised sale and supply which carries a fine of $40,000 or up to three months in prison for sale and supply of liquor to a minor, and providing a place for the consumption of liquor... Police on Wednesday sent a letter to about 40 Auckland high schools saying they would not accept excuses for supplying alcohol to under-18s at parties... The Auckland City Council's chairman of city development, Aaron Bhatnager, said the council was also acting against after-balls...Labels: Party Bus
