Youths Arrested Following Disorder At Broadway Roundabout

Police have arrested three male youths following reports of anti-social behaviour at the Broadway Roundabout in Belfast on Monday evening, 10 March.

Inspector Adams said that officers responded to reports of youths throwing stones and bottles at each other shortly after 6:50 pm. Upon police arrival, the youths dispersed.

"The males, aged 16, 15 and 14 years old were arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour. All three remain in custody at this time," Inspector Adams confirmed.

Police acknowledged the concerns of local residents and the wider public regarding ongoing anti-social behaviour in the Broadway area and stressed their commitment to working with partner agencies, local representatives, and the community to address the issue.

Inspector Adams also appealed to parents and guardians to speak to their children about their behaviour. "Some young people are behaving recklessly, dangerously and in some instances criminally around Broadway roundabout with little regard for other members of the public and local residents," he said.

The Inspector urged the public to report any incidents of anti-social behaviour. "We all have a responsibility to help make where we live safer for everyone. Ring us on 101, or 999 in an emergency, report online at www.psni.police.uk/makeareport or speak directly to your Neighbourhood Team."

Information can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.
