POLICE in Wellington are clamping down on adults buying alcohol for under-age boozers.

Local police posted a photograph on social networking site Twitter over the weekend showing the alcohol seized by officers from youths in Wellington Park.

And the police’s Sharon Baker told members of Wellington Town Council on Monday (May 13) that an adult had been found buying alcohol and then supplying it to children.

A message on Twitter said: “The person responsible will be dealt with – it is an offence.”

PCSO Steve Hill spent two hours going over CCTV to identify the adult who had been buying the booze for the youngsters.
