A popular West Country beach has been plagued by rowdy ' feral rich kids' causing havoc. From uprooting and burning trees to vandalising emergency equipment, locals have been dismayed at the youngsters' actions.
Countless smashed bottles of Prosecco were found alongside empty gas canisters last year during the summer season. But now locals in Polzeath in Cornwall have been taking matters into their own hands to ensure the same events don't happen again, reports Cornwall Live.
Locals believe private school pupils were behind the trouble as it started two weeks before state school summer holidays began. A two-day 10pm curfew was imposed by police in a bid to control the chaos. And now CCTV is being installed across the beach.
