“People who are caught drinking alcohol in the street whilst acting in an anti-social manner, can be fined up to �500 and arrested, if they fail to hand over their alcohol when requested to do so by an officer.”
There are four zones in Thetford with the main zone in the town centre and the other three outside shops on the Redcastle Estate, Abbey Estate and Pine Close.
