POLICE will continue patrols on local beaches, working alongside partners to promote safety.

The annual ‘Safer Shores’ campaign aims to improve community safety and reduce antisocial behaviour in and around Ayrshire’s beaches over the Summer months as well as the associated transport networks.

Additional officers from Police Scotland and British Transport Police will be in and around coastal areas, on trains and at railway and bus stations.

Superintendent Colin Martin said: “We will have officers on patrol across Ayrshire to ensure visitors enjoy their visit to the beach - remember it is an offence to consume alcohol in public places and all incidents of antisocial behaviour will be dealt with robustly.”
