YOUTHS who were seen demonstrating aggressive and anti-social behaviour threw fireworks at police when officers attended.

A number of incidents were recorded on the evening of Friday, November 5, in Halifax, including one whereby a large number of youths congregated on a grassed area between Plum Street and Vickerman Street.

The youths were seen demonstrating aggressive and anti-social behaviour towards people passing by and also threw fireworks at police when officers initially attended.

No-one was injured in the incident which came to an end when more officers arrived at the scene, causing the group to disperse.

DI Simon Archer, of Calderdale CID, said: “We are investigating a number of incidents of public disorder which occurred in the areas surrounding Damson Place.

"I would appeal to anyone who may have been in the area and has witnessed any incidents, or who has any information, to come forward.”

“We are appealing for anyone with CCTV or dash cam footage, in the areas of Vickerman Street, Plum Street, Parkinson Lane, Summergate Street, Clifton Avenue and Victoria Avenue.

“Anti-social behaviour and violent incidents such as these cannot and will not be tolerated and I’m sure the majority of those in the community will support our efforts in identifying those involved.

"I can promise that we will do everything we can to identify the persons involved in this disorder who will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
