"Increased patrols of these areas have been in effect, but we are urging parents of teenagers who live locally to know where their children are, and understand what they are up to over the Spring Break.

"During the school holidays we tend to see an increase in complaints of anti-social behaviour where young people are identified as being responsible.

"We understand that this is a minority who are causing issues, but those responsible will be dealt with robustly by attending officers."
