Police warn that 'parents will be held accountable for their children' after they found another large group of youths gathering in Weymouth last night.
Officers say these incidents will be dealt with 'robustly'. Large gatherings are not permitted under Covid restrictions.
Such gatherings of groups of young people at night are also linked to incidents of anti-social behaviour (asb).
A spokesman for Weymouth & Portland Police said: "Patrols have been conducted this evening (Friday) at our asb hotspots, including the swimming pool at Knightsdale Road.
"We’re still finding large groups of young people congregating in the sheltered entrance area. We are dealing with these incidents robustly and parents will be held accountable for their children."
