The Chief Constable of Northamptonshire wants to see a ban on the sale of cheap, high strength alcohol in shops across the county.

Reporter Willy Gilder sets off to find what booze can be bought for a fiver in Northampton, while Stuart talks to Chief Inspector Andrew Mason from Suffolk Police whose "Reducing the Strength" campaign that Adrian Lee wants to emulate has been running for 6 months.
