Families say they are being 'terrorised' by a gang of youths hurling lit fireworks at their homes. Police in Bury have issued a dispersal order in response to a spate of anti-social behaviour attacks this week.
The order covers the Fishpool area, near the town centre, for two days and gives police the power to break up groups of people they believe are causing a nuisance or distress. However, neighbours say they are afraid to sleep or leave their own homes.
Shocking footage shows youths hurling the lit fireworks at homes and cars on Wednesday evening. One woman, who asked not to be named, said a firework exploded next to her car, which was parked just yards away from the front door of her home in Wellington Road.
