Metro Police confiscated 146 bottles of wine and beer on the Gordon’s Bay and Strand beach areas on Saturday.

Metro Police’s Deputy Chief Yolanda Faro says since the beginning of the festive season metro police officers have been deployed on all the city’s priority beaches and no serious incidents were reported.

“The deployment of the equestrian unit on the beaches assists us in getting to situations much quicker and the mounted members can also observe and monitor any volatile situation from a higher position and further distance.

“Apart from maintaining high visibility on beaches, our members are continuing with the execution of search warrants at suspected drug houses, traffic policing and the enforcement of the city’s by-laws, said Metro Police Chief Yolanda Faro.

Faro added that two hundred and ten traffic fines and twenty four by-law offences were recorded over the Christmas period
