POLICE IN BELFAST arrested 33 people yesterday.
These were for a range of offences including possession of drugs, robbery, burglary, assault, criminal damage, public order and motoring offences.
Speaking about the St Patrick’s Day arrests, Inspector Rosie Thompson from the PSNI said, “out duty is to keep people safe.”
Throughout the day we had a visible police presence across the city… unfortunately there were a small number of individuals who ignored our advice and chose to engage in anti-social and criminal behaviour.
Around 15,000 people had travelled to city for the day and it is said that in most part people were there to enjoy the “family friendly atmosphere”.
