two more grocery stores are pinned by the prefect of Hérault, one in Montpellier, the other in Lattes. They are subject to administrative closure. Furthermore, a Montpellier grocer was caught selling nitrous oxide, which is prohibited.
The first grocery store is located in the Port Ariane district, Slats, where, based on reports from the national police, repeat offenses of concealed work and illicit sale of contraband tobacco were noted during checks. Sanction: two months of closure from this Wednesday, May 1, 2024. And the procedure for hidden work will be transmitted to the public prosecutor of Montpellier.
The second establishment is located in the Saint-Denis sector, Montpellier. The visit of the police to enforce the municipal order of disturbance of public peace made it possible to catch the grocer in the act of selling alcohol after 10 p.m., which is prohibited from Thursday to Monday, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. . Result: he must lower the curtain for seven days. This is obviously the first time that this operator has been caught out of the loop.
Checks are carried out regularly in Montpellier, by the national and municipal police, such as those carried out on Tuesday April 30 in the Cévennes district. Bingo: canisters of nitrous oxide (laughing gas), which were on sale were seized from a grocery store. This product, which is very dangerous for health, is illegal and appears on the prohibited list in the municipal decree. A procedure has been taken against this grocer.
Who’s next ? as must be questioned François-Xavier Lauch, the prefect of Hérault who leads a daily fight against these excesses of unscrupulous grocers.
