ABC said the operations focus on adults who purchase alcohol for people under the age of 21.
The operation consisted of supervised minors standing outside stores, asking people to purchase alcoholic beverages for them since they cannot do so themselves, due to their age, according to ABC.
Those who agree are either arrested or cited.

'ABC's efforts this weekend alongside more than 60 California law enforcement agencies to bring awareness to underage drinking issues was an overwhelming success,' said ABC Director Joseph McCullough. 'These types of collaborative efforts increase public safety for communities in our state and also boost protections for California's young people.'
ABC said the goal is to raise awareness about the dangers of underage drinking and the potential legal repercussions for those who supply minors with alcohol.
Citing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, ABC said that 27% of teen deaths caused by car crashes include an underage driver with a blood alcohol content of .01 or higher.
