Notts: Police week of action

A number of special patrols have taken to the streets to clamp down on alcohol abuse and educate people to its dangers.

These will include visiting anti-social behaviour hotspots, including the Canch, Godfrey’s Pond and Dock in Worksop.

Officers have also been checking in with off licences to ensure laws are being followed and to co-operate in order to prevent regular offenders accessing alcohol.

Traffic has also been a focus, with police targeting those seen to committing the ‘fatal four’ of speeding, driving under the influence, not wearing a seatbelt or being distracted by items such as mobile phones.

The week began on Monday, and will conclude on Sunday night.
