Underage Alcohol Sting Nabs 3 Hillsborough Residents

Undercover operation yields arrests outside Country Corner Liquor Store.

Three Hillsborough men between 18 and 20 were charged with underage possession of alcohol in a 40-minute span after undercover officers observed them exiting the Country Corner Liquor Store with booze in hand, police said.

Police stake out local liquor stores during the holiday season and at other times of the year, sometimes working as clerks in the stores—or as in last week's incidents, observing customers outside the stores—to watch for underage purchases and possession, according to a press release from Hillsborough Police. 

The three men were charged between 9:24 p.m. and 10:03 p.m. Nov. 27.
