Tipton shop may lose licence over missing lottery ticket

A shop may have its licence removed after a staff member was accused of stealing a winning lottery ticket.

Best One in Great Bridge, Tipton, was investigated by West Midlands Police, which said someone was handed £30 in winnings only to realise later the prize should have been “substantially higher”.

After returning to the shop to claim the correct amount, they were refused for not possessing the ticket, which the cashier kept when the original claim was made.

CCTV footage that should have been kept for at least a month was recorded over and during an investigation the licence holder said he was not the owner, before stating he was.

A licensing enforcement officer at the authority said they had “serious concerns” about the shop and urged councillors to give serious consideration to revoking the licence.
