THE PSNI have made two arrests following recent incidents of disorder and anti-social behaviour in the New Lodge area of north Belfast.

A 17-year-old arrested on Wednesday was charged with criminal damage and appeared in court yesterday. A 14-year-old male has been arrested this morning and he is currently helping with enquiries.

Chief Inspector Kelly Moore said, “We have consistently warned young people about their behaviour. Getting involved in anti-social and criminal behaviour at best can result in a criminal record which can affect travel, education and employment opportunities in the future. At worst, someone could be seriously injured or killed.

“Time and time again we have asked parents and guardians to ensure they know where their young people are, what they are doing and who they are with. We really need parents and guardians to take responsibility for their young people."
