COPS have issued a warning that they are stepping up patrols to combat public drinking in Glasgow ahead of the Jubilee.

Glaswegians having the long weekend off to enjoy the warm weather are being reminded of the outdoor alcohol ban as officers say they will step up patrols over the weekend.

Busy city parks like Kelvingrove and Victoria Park will see an increased police presence as cops try to target any potential anti-social behaviour. 

 

A statement read: "Police will be out and about in local parks this weekend to prevent ASB and ensure people can enjoy the park safely.

"Please remember alcohol consumption is prohibited in public places and will not be tolerated."

The force also confirmed that they will have a plan in place for the busy city centre areas during the public holiday.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "City centres are likely to be busy due to the additional public holiday for the Queen's Jubilee. 

"We will ensure there are proportionate policing plans in place across the country. Officers will monitor any events and respond accordingly."
