“We continue to work with licensed premises regarding their responsibilities surrounding the sale of alcohol, as well in local schools to reinforce to young people the potential consequences, both to themselves and the community, of becoming involved in such criminality.

“I would appeal to parents to have these discussions with their children, also.
