A TEENAGE girl who was so drunk she couldn't stand up gave police "a shower of vomit" as they escorted her home.

The underage drinker was found in Bournemouth's Lower Gardens last night after police were called there to deal with groups of youths.

Posting on social media, officers said: "Suffering a shower of vomit in the police vehicle was a small price to pay for ensuring the safety of an underage teen. A stark warning to all of how alcohol can affect people differently."

A spokesman for Bournemouth police said the girl was so intoxicated she could not stand and that she was sick in the police vehicle on the way to her home.

Officers also detained a group of six youths in the gardens due to suspected drugs use. One person is now helping officers with their inquiries.
