Edmonton police have closed down an Edmonton, Alberta, Canada pizza
restaurant for a single day for delivering alcoholic beverages despite
not being licensed to do so. It is unclear when this incident occurred,
but the CBC reported that it occurred "recently", after police searched
the shop in September.

The alcohol was being delivered in paper bags and pizza boxes, with the
same delivery vehicles used to deliver pizza. Curtis Hoople, a Sergeant
in the Edmonton Police Service, says that alcohol was also being sold
within the restaurant's premises.

It is estimated that the seized alcohol was worth around CAD$4,000,
Hoople said.

Four of the restaurant's employees were issued a summons, and were
accused of violating the Gaming and Liquor Act. 

Police have not named the restaurant in question.
