Inspector Adams also appealed to parents and guardians to speak to their children about their behaviour. "Some young people are behaving recklessly, dangerously and in some instances criminally around Broadway roundabout with little regard for other members of the public and local residents," he said.

The Inspector urged the public to report any incidents of anti-social behaviour. "We all have a responsibility to help make where we live safer for everyone. Ring us on 101, or 999 in an emergency, report online at www.psni.police.uk/makeareport or speak directly to your Neighbourhood Team."

Information can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.
