Hundreds of 'drunk youths' plague popular West Country beach as cars and property damaged

Hundreds of drunk youths have been plaguing a popular West Country beach over recent weeks. More than 300 teenagers have been gathering at Hayle Beach, near St Ives, where police say they have been "intoxicated" and in vulnerable situations.

Officers from across the country have now united to issue a stark warning to parents as they believed many were unaware of their children's whereabouts. Police say the huge gatherings have been taking place during weekends and half term, reports CornwallLive.

During the meet-ups, there has been "alcohol misuse, criminal damage to property and vehicles, as well as nuisance and anti-social behaviour had all been taking place". They added that some youngsters had also been found "intoxicated" and in vulnerable situations.
