PSNI shut down house parties in Belfast's Holyland area

Police say they attended a number of house parties in the Holyland area of South Belfast on Monday night and into Tuesday morning.

Officers issued a total of 94 Cov4 and 11 Cov2 notices, arrested three people, reported four people to the Public Prosecution Service and issued one Community Resolution Notice.

Chief Inspector Gavin Kirkpatrick said the PSNI received "a number of reports" throughout Monday afternoon, night and into the early hours of Tuesday morning of "anti-social behaviour" in the Holylands area.

"Officers attended on a number of occasions to disperse various groups of people," he added.

"Police would encourage residents to continue to report issues of anti-social behaviour to them. While local officers will be making follow-up enquiries, it is disappointing that we continue to receive reports about noisy parties and anti-social behaviour in this residential area.

"In light of last night’s events police are currently in the Holylands and will continue to have a nightly policing operation in this area this week. Local residents should be respected and should not have to contend with this type of behaviour."
