BETHLEHEM — Five people were charged with selling alcohol to minors after the Bethlehem Police worked with the state’s Liquor Authority on April 11, checking 27 establishments in town.

Under the New York State Alcohol Beverage Control Law, a person may not sell or provide alcohol to a person under age 21

Arrests were made at two Mobil stations — 317 Delaware Ave. and 415 Route 9W — and also at The Wine Reserve at 388 Feura Bush Rd., CVS at 416 Route 9W, and Cumberland Farms at 430 Route 9W.

The release from the Bethlehem Police did not name the suspects but said they were “released with a future court date."
