The haul of booze seized by police in Bangor on Easter Monday

POLICE confiscated the alcohol from the girl in Bangor and said they would inform her parents.

Officers said they found the girl with vodka in a Lucozade bottle and said she is the youngest to be caught with alcohol so far this Easter.

By lunchtime yesterday, shoppers warned the town was “full of drunk teenagers”, as crowds gathered for the town’s Spring Street Carnival.

A statement posted by officers read: “It’s nice to see so many people coming to Bangor. However, we have just seized alcohol from a 13-year-old girl! Parents to be updated in due course and NHS not required on this occasion.

“Our job is about preventing harm too! Just a selection of what has been seized so far before 3pm.”

This included 24 bottles of vodka, 13 bottles of Buckfast, bottles of alcopops and scores of bottles of beer.”

“Parents will hear from us soon.
