The regulations require establishments to separate beverages from other items, and their sale is prohibited from 22 to 8 hours, as well as their display in shop windows or windows, and in places easily visible from outside.

The Councilor for Citizen Security of the City of Lorca, José Luis Ruiz Guillén has reported the seizure of 1,965 units of alcoholic beverages during inspection and control of establishments for proper compliance with regulations.

The Councilor for Public Safety has detailed that "on the occasion of the Fair and Festivities of Lorca, last Thursday, September 19, at night, the Administrative Security Unit (USAD) and the Local Operational Prevention and Response Unit (UPROL) of the Local Police proceeded to the inspection and control of four establishments 24 hours from the municipality of Lorca, located in Jerónimo Santa Fe street, Juan Carlos I avenue, Europa avenue and Calle Mayor. "

According to Ruiz Guillén, "none of these food stores complied with the Coexistence Ordinance that requires businesses to locate beverages in separate places from the remaining items and independently, thus being able to close such areas during the time in which their sale is not allowed (from 22 hours to 8 hours) and therefore it is prohibited to expose alcoholic beverages in shop windows or windows, and, in general, in places easily visible from outside. "

"These guarantees were not respected and those responsible could easily continue with the sale of alcoholic beverages within that prohibited schedule, so the agents collected as a precautionary measure a total of 1965 units of alcoholic beverages distributed among the establishments, being subject to destruction immediate, "said the mayor, who added that" the people in charge of these businesses were informed of all rights and guarantees that assist him as well as the behavior to follow. "

The mayor of Public Safety has insisted that "this action, in particular, is the product of a device and control, prior to the Fair and Festivities of Lorca 2019, so that this type of shops comply with the regulations on the sale of alcoholic beverages, preventing them from being carried out outside authorized hours or minors.
