Ketchup ban

Apr 9 2008

Youths in a coastal town have been banned from buying squirty bottles of ketchup to help cut anti-social behaviour.

Police urged supermarkets in Caister, Norfolk, to ban the sales after receiving complaints about sauce being sprayed over homes and cars.

Sergeant Andy Brown, of Norfolk Police, said: "I know it sounds a bit daft, but it has made a difference because we’ve had no more reported incidents since the supermarkets came on board."
