Shocking video footage shows youths hurling lit fireworks at houses in Bury, leaving many families 'frightened in their own homes'. The recent reports of anti-social behaviour has prompted police to issue a dispersal order in the Fishpool area, near the town centre, for two days.
Local councillor Tamoor Tariq, who is also a resident, said families have been left 'frightened in their own homes' by the terror and branded the behaviour 'completely unacceptable'. He added the last two nights have been 'among the worst' he has ever known in the area.
Greater Manchester Police have issued the dispersal order, granting them the powers to break up groups of people if they believe their behaviour is causing a nuisance or distress. Lit fireworks have been set off towards houses and cars, with eggs also being thrown at properties in recent weeks.
