Detailing the incident, a PSNI spokesperson said: “Our Neighbourhood Teams attended the area behind St Gerard’s church and found a large number of young people present - many of whom were underage drinking, smashing glass, shouting abuse and playing excessively loud music.

“This behaviour was disturbing local residents and other people who were trying to enjoy Cave Hill Country Park.
