Gloucestershire Police are appealing for members of the public to come forward following reports of anti-social behaviour by children in Gloucester.

Officers are aware of social media posts detailing concerning behaviour from a group of young people in the Quedgeley, Kingsway and Hardwicke areas.

Over the last month, the children, who are believed to be as young as 11, have been seen damaging property, banging on the doors and windows of a residential property for older people, throwing dog’s mess at cars and houses, and setting fire to dog waste bins.

Police have been visiting house-to-house to speak to people in the area and have increased patrols. They are now urging residents to come forward and report any incidents that they have witnessed or experienced.

They would also like to hear from anyone who has CCTV, mobile phone or ring doorbell footage of the incidents in question.
