The Department of Public Safety says it sent minors trying to buy alcohol into 94 licensed liquor stores or restaurants in Dona Ana, Luna, Grant, and Otero counties on Friday evening.

Agents also tried to get adults to buy them alcohol. Two people in Deming agreed and were arrested on felony charges.

Another operation was planned on Saturday night.
