Ambulance crews raced to one Scots park three times after boozed up teens were found unconscious.
Reports suggest the under-age drinkers headed to North Inch park in Perth, resulting in emergency services crews having to make three trips to assist the drunken youths.
Ten youths were taken to Perth Police Office due to their intoxication levels, committing anti-social behaviour offences, or pestering people to purchase alcohol on their behalf.
Last weekend, cops came across teens unconscious having vomited or urinated on themselves and are now warning adults not to buy alcohol for the youngsters so these circumstances can be avoided in the future.
Tayside Police made a statement on their Facebook page.
They said: "On Saturday alone, 10 young people were taken to Perth Police Office due to their intoxication levels, committing ASB offences, or pestering people to purchase alcohol on their behalf.
"Three times on Saturday, ambulances were required at the North Inch to deal with intoxicated youths who had been found unconscious having vomited or urinated on themselves. Not only were these incidents unpleasant and completely avoidable, they tied up the time of police officers who could have been needed to deal with incidents elsewhere.
"Again, not everyone our officers spoke to were poorly-behaved (the majority, in fact, were fine), and we would pass on our thanks to those who were adhering to the current guidelines, and to the members of the public who reported antisocial behaviour to officers and community wardens.
They added: "Ahead of this coming weekend, we will again visit off licences to inform them of their responsibilities, and we would also like to remind members of the public, if you’re approached by someone under the age of 18 who asks you to purchase alcohol for them, do not agree to do so as you will be committing an offence."
They also said that to tackle the issue they will be patrolling parks and beauty spots.
The statement continued: "Our officers will also again be patrolling at beauty spots and public parks over the weekend to ensure the safety of the public, and to provide advice around the coronavirus regulations. Please be respectful of others in the area in terms of social distancing, anti-social behaviour and littering.
"We continue to work closely with partners and Perth & Kinross Council to make sure young people are as safe as possible, but we still need support from parents and carers. Please be mindful about where your children are and who they are with, and educate them in relation to alcohol and risks involved. Make sure you can contact them if needed."
