Police warning ahead of festival

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Police are drafting in extra resources this weekend to ensure there are no problems at the Castletown Carnival.

They say they will be targeting drunkenness, anti-social behaviour and any offences of violence.

The event, and particularly the Confetti Carnival tonight, attracts thousands of people from around the Island.

Last year a large number of young people were found intoxicated along with a minority of adults who were drunk and disorderly.

Sergeant Paul Kemp says it won’t be tolerated (audio):
