A group of youngsters have been targeting vulnerable people in a West Cumbrian village.
Copeland police said over the last six weeks the group have been repeatedly and aggressively kicking at front doors in Frizington.
Officers said it was causing the victims distress, resulting in sleepless nights filled with worry.
On Saturday night, police said, those responsible were three boys.
One had blond hair wearing a black puffa jacket, another had a dark hoodies with a large motif on the back and the third was wearing a black puffa jacket with a reflective strip at the base of the neck area.
Copeland police said: “If you are responsible for these boys, please speak to them about their behaviour because it’s completely unacceptable and put simply, horrible.
“Police are doing everything possible to resolve this issue, this post is a plea to the parents or guardians of those culpable to take some responsibility for their actions.”
