A total of 47 COVID-19 notices and nine prohibition notices have been handed out by police over the last two nights in the Holyland.
It’s part of their ongoing operation to address anti-social and criminal activity in this student area of South Belfast.
Police say it is ‘disappointing and frustrating’ that people are not following guidelines.
A 16-year-old man was also arrested on Saturday (19 September) on suspicion of possession of Class B drugs and possession of Class B drugs with intent to supply. He was later released on bail pending further enquiries.
During patrols of the Stranmillis area, an additional 24 COVID notices and four prohibition notices were issued over Friday and Saturday night.
Chief Inspector Gavin Kirkpatrick said it is ‘disappointing’ and ‘frustrating’ that once again police need to remind people of the importance of following the clear and specific advice, guidance and warnings issued by the PSNI, the Health Minister, universities and others.
“Our robust policing operation will continue over the coming days with our partner agencies, including representatives from Belfast City Council and both universities.
“If you have moved to the Holyland area or are visiting the area, you must adhere to the Health Protection Regulations to protect yourselves and others from COVID-19,” he added.
