Children 'terrified' as fireworks hurled at cars in 'nightmare' town

People in one Merseyside town are living a "nightmare" as fireworks are aimed at cars and items "set on fire".

Neighbours have expressed their frustration in recent weeks following an apparent increase in anti-social behaviour in Halewood. Right across the town, fireworks are being set off at "all hours" and items are set on fire at local fields, hindering sporting activities.

One person, who wished to not share their name, told the ECHO: "You've got gangs setting off fireworks on the field, you can't go out past 6pm with the dogs or kids because you don't know what will happen. The noise is constant until late at night and it's every single night, the dogs are terrified, the children are terrified but it's only a matter of time until someone is injured.
