Police have cracked down on under-age drinkers in a Brighton park.

They have confiscated scores of cans and bottles from teenagers who gather in Brighton's Preston Park at night and warned that arrests could follow.

Residents will be delighted at the move because youngsters drunk on alcopops are a disruptive influence, causing late-night havoc on our streets.

But there are two questions remaining unanswered: Where are the parents while Little Johnny is creating mayhem after downing a couple of cans of illicit lager?

And what off-licences sold alcohol to the youngsters in the first place?
