They said: "Those responsible have been identified and visits have been made to the homes and the kids spoken to in-front of their parents and very strong words of advice given.

"We will also be sending out antisocial behaviour warning letters which gives us options to escalate our response should the behaviour continue.

"As with most things in policing I fully appreciate that there are going to be differing opinions on how police should deal with these situations.

"However antisocial behaviour like this does cause considerable distress to those on the receiving end of it and in my opinion it isn’t acceptable and it falls under the remit of the safer neighbourhood team to address it in an appropriate and proportionate manner.

"All the parents were fully supportive and in this instance I do feel the right balance has been struck. I hope it does the trick for those affected by it."
