Northwest Community Beats officers received information about an unlicensed establishment allegedly selling alcohol after-hours.
Investigators believed the alcohol was being sold inside the establishment, as well as on delivery – under the semblance of a pizza delivery service.
Police obtained a search warrant and a substantial amount of alcohol was found at the establishment inside pizza boxes, in pre-packaged brown paper bags and inside delivery vehicles.

A total of 240 cans of beer (355 ml) and 100 bottles of various spirits (375 ml) were located on the premises.
“While the majority of 118 Avenue businesses work hard to contribute to the wellness of the surrounding community, this business compromised the safety and well-being of 118 Avenue through the unregulated and illegal sale of alcohol,” said Northwest Division Community Beats Sergeant Curtis Hoople.
On Sept. 27, 2015 investigators issued a Provincial Violation Summons under Section 81 of the Gaming and Liquor Act: Prohibited Sale of Liquor to four employees of the establishment. The establishment was shut down for one day.
“This investigation is a demonstration of Northwest Division’s ongoing commitment to Alberta Avenue and its surrounding communities. The results of this investigation are expected to have a positive and immediate impact on the area,” Hoople said.
Anyone who has information about this incident is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at http://ift.tt/1az8Eve.
