Police were called out on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights to deal with incidents involving youths throwing fireworks at members of the public and then turning their aim on police officers.

A statement on Friday from Preston Police said: “This has to stop before someone is seriously injured and I would appeal for those teenagers involved to think about how their actions affect others.

“As a result of the latest information I am again issuing a dispersal notice for the area. Parents of those teens dispersed already are being visited today to make them aware of what is happening and to hopefully get them to take responsibility for their children.”
