The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Lincolnshire Police are hoping to convince South Holland district councillors to turn down an application for a premises licence in Spalding.
Ernesta Tamutyte wants permission to sell alcohol at Global Foods in Winsover Road.
But police say they believe Miss Tamutyte, of Hallgate, Moulton, is involved in the distribution of smuggled goods.
And they also claim she is living with, and in a relationship, with Marius Legavicius, who was the owner/manager of the shop when smuggled alcohol was found to be on sale. As a result, the council revoked a premises licence in the name of Delon Kuriakose.
In their representation to the council’s licensing authority, police said: “Lincolnshire Police believe that Mr Legavicius continues to run the business and feel that as the licence was revoked whilst under the management and ownership of Mr Legavicius, that neither he nor any direct associate of him are suitable persons to be holding a premise licence or acting as a DPS for any licensed premise.”
The panel of the committee of the licensing authority will consider the application on Friday.(May 20)
