Police in Telford are clamping down on anti-social behaviour in the Dawley area after identifying a group of youths who have been playing "knock and run".
West Mercia Police said action "has been taken" after youths thought to be involved in the antisocial practice have been identified.
PCSO Micheala Kitt from Dawley SNT said: "We are working hard to tackle Anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the Dawley area and the information provided to us by residents can be essential in taking action to make a difference where you live.
"There have been recent reports of young persons causing anti-social behaviour within Dawley including playing “knock and run” at addresses.
"While this may seem like a harmless game or just “kids being kids” it can have a detrimental impact on the quality of life for the residents being targeted who may feel alarmed or distressed by these actions.
"Following enquiries made by the team a number of young persons have been identified as the individuals causing this ASB and appropriate action has been taken."
