Most liquor stores passed the test in an undercover sting involving young people from Chelsea ASAP and detectives from the Chelsea Police Department.
Only one of 13 establishments targeted by the sting sold alcohol to an underage young person working undercover.
That establishment, the Chelsea Liqour Mart at 182 Broadway, will likely be summonsed before the License Commission – as is usually the standard practice.

• Fernandez Brothers Liquor
• Heller’s Liquor Mart
