Police break up "drunken youths" on Exmouth beach
Officers say around 100 of them were "causing a disturbance"
Police in Exmouth have said they had to break up a group of "around 100 drunken youths" on Saturday afternoon.
Officers say they were "causing a disturbance" on the beach below Orcombe Point.
People living in the area are currently being asked for their views on whether a Public Space Protection Order, giving police extra powers, should be extended to the seafront.
It currently covers part of the town, restricting drinking and other anti-social behaviour.
Posting on social media, Exmouth Police said: "We welcome all visitors to the town but would like to remind people to behave appropriately.
"We don’t want to stop people from having fun but please take your litter home, use the toilets provided and drink responsibly."
