Agents raided a Chester County golf club Wednesday morning and seized a large stock of alcoholic beverages that allegedly was being sold illegally, state police reported Thursday.
Officers of the state police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement executed a search warrant at the French Creek Golf Club in Elverson Borough following an undercover operation prompted by a complaint about illegal sales.
State police officers reported confiscating 575 bottles of wine, 610 bottles of liquor, 2,687 cans and bottles of beer, seven kegs, and records believed to be related to the alleged illegal sales of alcohol.
Jihad Nicolas, director of operations at the golf club, could not be reached for comment.
Liquor enforcement officials were unavailable to explain if the club previously had a license in good standing or to otherwise elaborate on the alleged illegal sales.
Acting undercover, liquor enforcement officers obtained memberships to the French Creek Social Club at the golf club and several times from August until this month purchased beer and liquor, including bottles of wine, at the golf club.
State police reported no arrests or further enforcement actions as of Thursday evening.
