The youths were also reported to be smashing glass being a nuisance obstructing other people using the track.

"Heavy use can lead to a vitamin deficiency that damages nerves in the spinal column.”

The incident happened on the afternoon of Thursday, (June 22).

The neighbourhood Policing Team will be out on foot in the area over the next few nights.
