Four of seven pubs in a Nottingham suburb have been fined for serving drinks to minors in a police crackdown.
The staff at pubs in Arnold were each fined £80 after being caught selling alcohol to a teenager.
Licensing officer Paul Horton said drinks were served to a 14-year-old girl at The Arrow, Lord Nelson, Robin Hood and Little John and Tangerine Bar.
The teenager was accompanied by plain-clothes officers and licensing officers during the sting.
Licensing officer Paul Horton said: "The results are extremely disappointing, with over half the premises visited serving the girl."
He added: "Any premises caught repeatedly serving alcohol to people aged under 18 will be scrutinised by the police and licensing authorities, which could result in a review of their current licence."
In a similar sting in Broxtowe in June, none of the 30 pubs visited sold alcohol illegally.
