How 'dirty drug' alcohol affects brains of young drinkers
Police in Wanaka have bought in a rugby giant to hammer home the message of keeping young people safe this New Year’s Eve.
Sir Steve Hansen has fronted a video targeting teenagers from Christchurch secondary schools in an effort to reduce the amount of alcohol-related harm experienced in Wanaka over the New Year period.
In the past few years, hundreds of Christchurch teenagers have converged on the town to ring in the new year, and with that has come more alcohol-related harm.
Many of the incidents reported involved visitors from out of town.
Wanaka businesses and Christchurch Boys’ High School year 13 dean Wayne Waller also feature in the video, which has been presented by police to the Queenstown Lakes District Council.
