Officers issued advice to parents and guardians after a group of three boys, aged approximately 14/15, were out on their bikes on Friday night (January 3) dressed in black and without lights on their bicycles.

Posting on Facebook, shortly before 10pm on Friday, a PSNI spokesperson said: “We don’t want to call at your door explaining that your child has been seriously injured while trying to goad police into a chase.

“Please ensure it is not your child that is involved or even better, bring them home as it is late.”
