Busy weekend for Manx Police

by isleofman.com 15th May 2006
Police in the Isle of Man had one of their busiest weekends in two years.

There were 41 arrests for a variety of offences, including drink driving, drugs, assault and criminal damage.

Beth Espey reports:

More than half of those arrested were under the influence of alcohol, although none were linked to FA Cup Final on Saturday.

Superintendent Gary Roberts (pictured) says he was very impressed with the way his officers dealt with the situations they faced, an example of very robust interventionalist policing.

He is stressing the Island remains a very safe place in which to live, and warns that if people drink to excess and behave badly, the consequences will be simple.

They will face arrest, detention and prosecution.
