Teens throw eggs, steal crates of beer and smash up bus stops, leaving shopkeepers and residents in despair
Business owners and residents of Kimberley have revealed the extent of havoc caused by youths which led to police implementing a dispersal order in the town. Lasting from 4pm until midnight on Thursday, November 7, it allowed officers to arrest people who didn't go home when ordered to.
"In the evening now we can't have just one person working. We have to have two people on shift in the afternoon and three or four at closing time. We also now keep the beer behind another door closer to the till. We are in a very, very troubled condition due to these kids. So many times they do it and so very badly they've abused me."
"They're between probably as young as 12 and about 15-16 so you can't really do anything because they're kids and so we don't get priority. It's frustrating. We once rang the police at 7pm before we closed at half 7, but we were there until half 8 waiting. They told us they'd get there when they get there."
