A council licensing hearing was told he was found 'intoxicated' at the premises
A town centre shop owner has had his licence to sell alcohol revoked after police found him drunk at his premises. Officers answered a 999 call to the business and found boss Kumrakulasingham Thevathas to be ‘intoxicated’.
Mr Thevathas did not challenge the revocation of the premises licence he had held since August 22 2024. The meeting was told a number of patrols were called to the shop on September 29 at 9.20pm. "On arrival the police found the licensee Mr Thevathas stood in the doorway of the premises and the officers at the scene were quickly made aware of Mr Thevathas intoxicated state. One attending officer described Thevathas as being ‘incoherent’ when speaking with him and appeared under the influence of alcohol, unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and officers could smell alcoholic intoxicants on his breath.
