'Where is your child tonight?' Vandals cause damage to property in Delph

It's understood young people between 13-16 years old have been causing damage to a summer house and nearby allotment greenhouses

Property has been damaged in Delph during anti-social behaviour in a local park.

Oldham police say they are "aware" of the incidents in Swan Meadow Park, and are asking parents to check where their child is tonight "or risk them having a criminal record".

It's understood young people between 13-16 years old have been causing damage to a summer house and nearby allotment greenhouses.

Antisocial behaviour orders (ASBOs) can be used to stop anyone aged 10 or over from harassing, causing alarm or distress to other people who aren't in the same household. An order can be issued for at least two years and lists what they must stop doing.

If the order is broken, offenders could be fined, receive a community sentence or be sentenced for up to five years in prison.
