A third teenaged boy, aged 13, has been arrested in connection with a number of robberies/assaults that took place in Southport at the end of August.

Police said in August after violence in Southport.

Three teenaged boys, the oldest being 16, have been arrested in connection with a serious assault in Southport town centre. 

These are children of 16 years of age and under.

Parents/carers, It’s time to start asking your children questions. Where are they going? Who are they going to be with? What are they going to be doing? How are children under the age of 16 staying out all night? Could they be among the groups being complained about?

No one wants to stop “kids being kids”, but we do want everyone, especially young people, to be safe when they go out. We do want to reduce the risk of young people becoming victims of crime and we do want to stop young people from having their future’s compromised by becoming offenders. 

We need your help to do this. Ask the questions. Keep children in your care safe.
