Beacon Heath neighbourhood police have been busy dealing with an increase in anti-social behaviour over the past few weeks.
They report that the issues have ranged from throwing stones at cars and passing persons, underage drinking, criminal damage, arson and intimidation of local shops and shoppers.
In total 15 ASB escalation warning letters have been handed out in the last three weeks.
Each of the youths concerned has had a visit to their parents and the neighbourhood team has involved local schools in the problem solving process as well.
Officers say that they should now be in a better position to identify and deal with future incidents and offenders.
