The raid took place Friday, Jan. 25, by members of the Hamden Police Department Street Interdiction Team, along with the patrol and traffic divisions at the club located at 3816 Whitney Ave., said Hamden Police Capt. Ronald Smith.

Smith said the check was in response to the department receiving several complaints pertaining to underage drinking on the Hamden Police 411 Tip Line.

"Officers issued in excess of 100 infractions to patrons that were under 21 years of age," Smith said.

The club is located nearby the Quinnipiac University’s Mt. Carmel campus.

During a compliance check last April, about 100 patrons were found to be under the age of 21.

The State Liquor Commission has been notified, Smith added.
