Underage drinkingoperating by police at Christie Park
This follows community concerns raised around youths drinking and general anti-social behaviour in the area over Christmas and new year. Indeed over the last week, officers, both in uniform and in plain clothes, seized and disposed of around 11 litres of alcohol from underage drinkers in the area.
Police also believe that drinkers have been leaving broken glass along the paths, posing problems for dog walkers and other people who use the park.
