“We continue to be proactive in our efforts to disrupt this behaviour with operations such as this one which also seen us targeting road traffic offences.
“We ask parents and carers to speak to young people about their behaviour whilst out in our community as well as the consequences.
“Reporting incidents to us is also important so that we can direct our resources and our community beat officers can look into and address the issues. “
