Police investigating after anti-social behaviour forces Newmarket library to close early
A group of young people rode around the Guineas shopping centre and the library
Police are investigating after Newmarket library was forced to close early due to anti-social behaviour.
It comes after officers received reports of young people verbally abusing staff, tipping over tables and riding bikes inside and around the building over the weekend.
The first incident took place on Saturday 15 July between 10am and noon when a group of young people rode around the Guineas shopping centre and the library.
The next day, between 12.45pm and 1pm, youngsters verbally abused staff at the library and refused to leave.
Local PCSO Bill Butcher said: “This type of behaviour is unacceptable and unfair to both staff and other users of the service and the people doing this are certainly not representative of young people in the town.
"With the summer holidays almost here, we hope parents will work with officers to prevent this type of behaviour recurring.”
