Speaking about behaviour in general across the city Neighbourhood Inspector Paul Deacon said: "It is both right and necessary that residents are able to feel safe and protected in their own homes.

"Large groups of young people drinking and causing a nuisance to others is unacceptable and we will continue to take steps to address this issue however parents cannot turn a blind eye.

"When your children go out the front door they are still your responsibility so make sure your son or daughter isn't causing grief for your neighbours.

"In general alcohol has been a contributory factor in past incidents and I would like to reassure residents that we will make full use of our resources from seizing alcohol to reporting offenders to the Youth Diversion officer.

"We would ask for the continued support of the local community in dealing with these issues effectively so that everyone is able to live in peace."
