CHESHIRE Police have issued a warning to parents about how they can keep their children out of trouble this summer.

The force has launched a website where parents can find out what is taking place in the community to keep young people entertained.

Superintendent Bill Dutton said: “Although young people are rightly excited about the idea of a six week holiday they can sometimes end up getting bored, and perhaps fall into mischief, and do things that they may later regret.

“That’s why we’re keen to remind parents to make sure their children stay safe this summer.

"By taking simple steps such as encouraging your children to take part in some of the planned activities that are taking place you can ensure that they stay out of trouble."

Officers and police community support officers will be patrolling areas where any complaints are made.

He added: “Anyone found to be breaking the law could face the prospect of getting a civil injunction - a criminal behaviour order -  or an acceptable behaviour contract.”
