Officers raided Zabka on Portland Street, Lincoln, in December, finding more than 190 illegal medicine products, 62 bottles of non-duty paid alcohol and five bottles of illicit Krackoff Vodka, it’s reported.
When the vodka was sent for testing, it was discovered that it contained 150,000 times more industrial alcohol than the legally permitted limit.
“The revocation of this Premises Licence sends a strong message from Lincoln City Council, that this sort of activity at licensed stores will not be tolerated,” Sergeant Kim Enderby from the Alcohol Licensing Department said.
