A McDonald's store was forced to close last night and a police dispersal zone enforced after a gang of youths caused havoc, throwing eggs and intimidating customers and staff.
Following the disturbance, South Ribble Police said a 'large group of youths' were reportedly throwing eggs and 'behaving in an intimidating manner' outside the restaurant on Churchill Way Retail Park in Leyland. A dispersal order was issued until midnight resulting in two teenagers being arrested, reports LancsLive.
Officers said McDonald's was forced to temporarily close the store 'to prevent any harm to people in the restaurant'. They said this was necessary to 'tackle the main offenders and protect any innocent people eating inside'.
