Parents in Weymouth are being reminded not to let their children meet up in large groups.

Police carrying out patrols found a group of 10 young people outside Weymouth swimming pool last night.

They ran away from officers.

A spokesman for Weymouth & Portland Police said:

"Please can we remind parents of young people that congregating in large groups not only breaches the national lockdown restrictions but also causes alarm and distress to members of the public in the area.

"You are allowed to meet one other person for exercise only.

"There is now a CCTV camera that covers this area and we will be making follow up enquiries with the youths who were involved in this incident."
