According to court documents, Toguz was also ordered to pay a surcharge of £415 to fund victim services.

A collection order was also made, meaning Toguz has until May 9 to pay.

Eubert Malcolm, Haringey Council’s assistant airector for stronger and safer communities, said: “This case serves as a timely reminder to businesses in our borough to take their licensing conditions seriously.

“If Haringey residents have any information about businesses who are flouting these regulations, we would encourage them to share it with us so that we can take action to protect our young people together.

“There are absolutely no excuses whatsoever for selling age-restricted products to children.”
