Alcohol Check

On Friday, members of the Regional Human Exploitation and Trafficking (HEAT) unit conducted an underage alcohol compliance check in Reno.

During the operation, a 20 year old volunteer was used to check 13 businesses. Of those 13 businesses checked, two businesses failed the compliance check and served or sold alcohol to the volunteer.
