Police last night dealt with ‘a very large group of teenagers who were drunk and fighting’ in the Carrick area.
This has been an ongoing issue for months and police have been constantly asking parents to be aware of what their children are doing.
“Young guys beating other young guys and girls! These are your kids. My advice get out of your house and come and get your children now! We are moving into the area with a large police presence, if we catch your child fighting they are going to custody,” said a police spokesperson.
Police say they have identified a few children already.
“While we waste out time parenting your children we cant get on with detecting drink driver before they kill someone or people breaking into houses. Do you know where your child is…. no? Please find out!”
Last year the area around McDonald’s proved to be a persistent problem for police.
Young people were congregating and causing trouble. Since then, the anti-social behaviour has affected more parts of the town.
