Cops seize around 1,000 alcoholic drinks on St. Patrick's Day

Ottawa police said they seized about 1,000 alcoholic beverages, fielded 10 service calls for noise and issued 31 provincial offence notices on a busy St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday.
Police and bylaw teams teamed up to canvas neighbourhoods like Sandy Hill and the ByWard Market for the “community safety education initiative” between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Most of the provincial offence notices were for alcohol consumption on public property or trespassing, said police.
