St Helens police warn parents to know where their children are

Police in St Helens are urging parents to "know where your children are".

It comes as community officers dealt with a large number of young people who had gathered around Sutton and Sherdley Park.

They were reportedly drinking alcohol and generally being a nuisance to the local residents nearby.

Their parents were handed £200 fines for breaches of the Health Regulations Act.

In a post on social media, officers said:

"St Helens...COVID has not disappeared. Know where your children are."
