A large gang of young people have been terrorising a town and assaulting teenagers.
Police introduced new powers to Ellesmere Port after officers received multiple reports of a large gang of youths committing anti-social behaviour throughout the town centre and in Whitby Park. The gang is also believed to have been involved in the assaults of two 13 year old boys.
The first assault happened in the town centre at around 6.30pm, when a 13 year old boy was assaulted. Less than an hour later the gang is believed to have done the same to another boy, also 13.
