A new initiative's been launched in a bid to crack down on underage drinkers committing crime in a Dorset town.
Police in Christchurch will now refer them to a local outreach project, Shadows to make sure they get help with their drink problem.
57 young people have been arrested for alcohol-related offences in the past year.
Mindy Crespi is from Essential Drugs and Alcohol Services in Dorset.
She says the outreach workers will offer guidance to the young offenders.
