Large groups of youths caused trouble in York city centre this afternoon (Sunday), creating havoc in restaurants and ripping foam from scaffolding.
The disorder led to a combined police response.
The York Neighbourhood Policing Team, British Transport Police and officers from Ryedale and the response unit were sent in to tackle the troublemakers.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said they “dispersed five individuals, marched several back to a scaffolding location to replace protection foam they had removed, engaged with various businesses including preventing further disorder in fast food venues and gave reassurance to one such management team who felt vulnerable.
“We also took one individual home whose father was less than impressed and he won’t be allowed out for some considerable time.”
