The PSNI has issued seven Covid notices to young people at parties in the Holyland, they say.
Officers also issued three prohibition notices “at properties hosting parties” in the South Belfast neighbourhood during patrols last night and into the early hours of Thursday morning (Sept 17).
Police added that a 20-year-old male “who had been previously arrested in the area late on Tuesday evening, was arrested on suspicion of breaching bail”.
He is understood to have appeared before court this morning.
Chief Inspector Gavin Kirkpatrick said: “We continue to dedicate substantial resources to policing this area as we work with our partner agencies and the universities to address this ongoing issue.
“In addition to robustly addressing all incidents of antisocial or criminal activity, where appropriate, we will be sharing the details of students who have failed to follow the Covid regulations with the Universities, who will then consider a range of sanctions.
“Once again, I am warning young people who have moved to the Holyland area and those who are visiting the area, you all share responsibility to adhere to the Health Protection Regulations to protect themselves and others from Covid-19.
“The young people congregating or travelling to this area really need to consider their actions for their own health and that of the community. A large number of people are acting responsibly but there are a few who continue to behave recklessly and are causing disruption for the local community.”
