Youngsters in the north of the Island are being warned they could end up with a criminal record, if they are caught under-age drinking.
Officers from the Northern Neighbourhood Policing Team have announced a crackdown on young drinkers to coincide with the school summer holidays.
Youths found with alcohol will have it confiscated and will be returned to their parents.
Inspector Derek Flint says it's a tough but fair approach:
Chief minister candidates to go head-to-head
Chris Thomas and Kirrie Jenkins to take part in hustings events
Island's young people told 'look after your bodies' as UK cancer rates rise
Rates in the UK have increased by 24 percent in 25 to 49-year-olds
