They certainly would not care about the booze element otherwise they would need to be after many of our school kids for the same offence when they appear to have far more pressing demands on their time! The link between alcohol/drugs, gangs and stabbings and the UK's choice to ignore low level "victimless" crime is coming home to bite.
Since when is repeated robbery of thousands of pounds of cash a "victimless crime?" The folks who committed these robberies were
in custody, and just like that, they were released? With no bail? How does that make the slightest sense? If robbery on this scale does not even result in charges, it's easy to conclude what kind of effort the police are expending to catch the vandals of these war memorials.
