Two businesses in the Omaha metro area were found to be non-compliant during alcohol compliance checks conducted by the Nebraska State Patrol.

The compliance checks held Thursday, June 13, were conducted at 49 alcohol retail outlets in the Omaha metro area. Of the 49 outlets checked, two businesses were found to be non-compliant after selling alcohol to minors. The retail outlets checked during the collaborative efforts included convenience, liquor and grocery stores as well as restaurants and bars.

Law enforcement performs compliance checks to ensure that businesses are complying with the state’s alcohol laws and to decrease youth access to alcohol.

The compliance checks were conducted thanks in part to a more than $2,640 grant from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety (NOHS). Additional compliance checks will be conducted throughout the summer.
