Newcastle Clampdown

Two men were banned from jetting to Belfast because they were too drunk to fly, police revealed today.

They were stopped as they planned to take a flight from Newcastle.

Details of the ban emerged as Northumbria Police chief constable Mike Craik pledged to crackdown on drink-related trouble in a campaign titled The Party`s Over.

The pair were hoping to catch a flight to Belfast but were not allowed onto the plane.

Meanwhile, officers have been touring hotels and guest houses warning stag parties visiting the region that their behaviour must not get out of hand.
