A shop owner has been stripped of his license after he was caught with thousands of litres of illegal booze. This is the second time that Amrik Singh Arora, 42, who owned the Good Morning Superstore in Kenton, was caught with illegal alcohol on his premises.
During a routine inspection in April last year, Harrow Council Trading’s Standards discovered that Mr Arora had not paid the duty on the alcohol and there was hundreds of packets of tobacco which did not carry the required health warnings for English labels.
In February this year, Mr Arora was caught again as Her Majesty Revenue and Customs (HMRC) Officers seized nearly two thousand litres of illegal alcohol on the site. They discovered he had no proof of purchase for the alcohol and tobacco he claimed he had bought from a “mysterious” man who visited his shop.
The cost to the treasury was confirmed to be a £3,500 loss in revenue.
