A man spotted buying a can of alcohol and giving it to a young person under 18 in Dover has been given an £80 fine.
Town centre officer PC Paul Tutthill issued the fine and fixed penalty notice to the 32-year-old man in Market Square earlier this month (4 October).
PC Tutthill added: "The man was spotted and tracked down with the assistance of local businesses and town CCTV operators working together with the police."

Police have issued a warning to a 16-year-old boy in Elvington as part of their tough stance on nuisance motorcyclists.
The teenager from Elvington was stopped in St John's Road after he was spotted riding his moped erratically in the area.
He was issued a section 59 warning under the Police Reform Act which means if he is caught again he risks having his moped seized.

Police are trying to trace the driver of a white van involved in a collision at the junction between the A256 and Sandwich Road, Whitfield.
The collision between the van and a maroon Ford Fiesta happened at 12.15pm last Wednesday (12 October).
The Ford Fiesta was forced into the central reservation and was damaged but the van was driven off. It is described as medium-sized and was sign written. The drivers were not injured.
Acting Sergeant Andy Perham said: "I would like the van driver to come forward as well as any witnesses or anyone that may have repaired the van."
Anyone with information should contact 01303 289139 giving reference 12-505.email: dover7@msn.com - 17 October 2011 14:58131886like that one about the chap buying alcohol for an under age drinker.
good stuff p.c.tutthill and all others involved. - 17 October 2011 15:46131904Yes PC Tutthill clearly took the time to search the purveyor of alcohol out...following up CCTV etc. The last thing we need are under age drinkers.
There seems to be a push on this sort of anti social drinking. I saw the Harbour Police confront and move three 'highly plastered' individuals from the seafront yesterday. Technically I suppose they are not committing a crime, just staggering along with highly wobbling legs...but who needs it!?email: dover7@msn.com - 17 October 2011 15:58131906We have the elections this week for the 12 parishes that make up the Senate and Ministers of the States. One of the many issues is the raising of the age of buying alcohol from 18 to 21 yrs. Should be interesting...Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 17 October 2011 17:42131933A packed press release there from the police, well done to our Town Bobby he's doing a good job
- 17 October 2011 18:06131947i tend to go with the jersey proposal and would add minimum driving age to that.

17 October 2011 19:49131964Well done to PC Paul Tutthill and to the police involved with the 16-year-old boy in Elvington.
I wonder if the youngsters who think it is ok to get over the top drunk realise how uncool they look, maybe they, together with their friends, should see film of themselves looking so stupid.
Please keep the police information coming.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
