POLICE chiefs urged shops to stop selling bottles of Frosty Jack’s cider after discovering a rough sleeper’s den in Wisbech.
The den was discovered in the woods off Harecroft Road, close to the entrance to the Hudson leisure centre, with a pile of empty bottles of Frosty Jack’s nearby.
Medication was also recovered.
Sgt Dave Bax, Fenland licensing officer, said: “The pictures are shocking and show a number of individuals sleeping rough and consuming large quantities of Frosty Jack’s cider.
“This cider is high strength at 7.5 per cent ABV. It is sold by a number of local shops and some choose to sell these in large quantities to street drinkers.
“Police would ask all shops in Wisbech still stocking this product to remove it and be responsible licensees.”
