Antisocial behaviour warnings were handed out by police officers in Kenilworth yesterday following complaints about behaviour in Guy Road.

Officers from Kenilworth and Warwick Police responded to reports and identified the 'kids' who were involved. Police then visited the homes of each of the young people to speak to them and their parents.

Antisocial behaviour warning letters will also be distributed to the individuals involved.

A Kenilworth and Warwick Police spokesperson said: "We've been conducting hi visibility patrols around Guy Road following reports of anti social behaviour.

"Those responsible have been identified and visits have been made to the homes and the kids spoken to in-front of their parents and very strong words of advice given. We will also be sending out ASB warning letters which gives us options to escalate our response should the behaviour continue.

"As with most things in policing I fully appreciate that there are going to be differing opinions on how police should deal with these situations.

"However antisocial behaviour like this does cause considerable distress to those on the receiving end of it and in my opinion it isn't acceptable and it falls under the remit of the safer neighbourhood team to address it in an appropriate and proportionate manner.

"All the parents were fully supportive and in this instance I do feel the right balance has been struck ... I hope it does the trick for those affected by it."
