Police in Downpatrick called a public meeting this week as residents living in two housing estates are being left 'afraid in their own homes' due to anti-social behaviour.
The meeting on Tuesday night, took place in the Ballymote Sports Centre at 5pm. On a leaflet issued to residents in the Model Farm and Flying Horse estates, police said the hour-long meet was to discuss "local issues".
It comes as disruptive and dangerous behaviour in the area is causing distress to the community. In recent months, cars have been damaged and other incidents of crime reported.
