A SOUTHAMPTON shopkeeper will find out whether he has lost his licence after being found drunk at his store.
Kamalnayn (CORR) Patel will face the city council's licensing committee on Wednesday (June 24) after police called for a review of his licence at Hatchers Card Shop.
As previously reported, police say he sold alcohol to teenagers as young as 15 while under the influence of alcohol.
A report put together by Hampshire Constabulary lists incidents going back to 2011 when officers carried out routine visits on several occasions.
In April this year Mr Patel sold booze to a 15-year-old, and police again found an open can of alcohol behind the counter while the cigarettes had been left exposed, which is against the law.
On another occasion a 16-year-old test purchaser was served alcohol by Mr Patel.
He declined to comment when approached by the Daily Echo.
