“People have a right to feel safe in their communities.

“Parents and guardians must speak to their young people about where they are and who they are with and also warn them of the dangers of getting involved in behaviour which could result in injuring themselves, others, or ultimately a criminal record.

“Police will continue to patrol the area and continue to work alongside our partner agencies, local representatives and the community.

“We would encourage anyone affected by anti- social behaviour to report the matter to police immediately on 101.”
