Groups of children causing damage on private property

Police are investigating a number of criminal damage incidents in Hereford.

Officers from the South Wye SNT have attended a number of incidents involving children causing damage at the old Belmont Golf Course.

A force spokesperson said: "This is private property and therefore no children should be at the location. If found on site police will take action against offenders including any criminal damage found which could result in a criminal record."

"There is also a safety risk as the building is not in use with various hazards present due to its age and state of disrepair."

"South Wye SNT ask that parents know where their children are when not home and if aware their child has attended this location for the message to be passed on accordingly."

Anyone with information is asked to contact West Mercia Police on 101.
