Teens arrested after another weekend of disturbances in Ripon
Police in Ripon have arrested two teenagers and said they will step-up patrols after another weekend of anti-social behaviour.
One teen has been charged with being drunk and disorderly; the other remains "under investigation", the police said.
The force said Ripon suffered 'several incidents of anti-social behaviour' over the weekend, including teenagers throwing objects in the road and walking in front of cars.
A statement on Ripon City Police's Facebook page said teenagers were not only committing anti-social behaviour but also ignoring covid warnings. The statement added:

The statement urged parents in Ripon to ask their children about their whereabouts last weekend. It added:
Last weekend's incidents were the latest in a series of anti-social incidents.
On the previous weekend vandals smashed windows at Ripon's town hall and cathedral office.
North Yorkshire Police declined to comment on those incidents when approached by the Stray Ferret last week.
