Staff at three unnamed pubs in Denbighshire were given on the spot fines by police for serving drinks to drunken customers, reports .
The crackdown was part of Operation Uncork, in which plain clothes officers from North Wales Police and Denbighshire Council licensing officers visited pubs during a four-week period over the summer.
Also, underage test purchasers, aged 14-16, were sold alcohol on 22 occasions giving a failure rate of 58 per cent among the 11 pubs and 27 off licences visited as part of the crackdown, reports the trade paper.
