Young people have been reported to police for smashing glass bottles, shouting and playing loud music in woodland off Cunningham Road, Purbrook.

Meanwhile a group of thugs refused to leave McDonald’s, in Elettra Avenue, Waterlooville, after throwing things around inside.

On another occasion, youths ripped off a door at a play area of the fast-food restaurant.

Richard Bunton, assistant manager at McDonald’s, said: ‘This sort of thing happens during the summer holiday. It’s just a small bunch spoiling it for everybody else – 99 per cent of kids aren’t a problem. But it is frustrating.’

Eight instances of anti-social behaviour have been reported to police in a week.

They include youths climbing on roofs and being a nuisance outside a shop.
