POLICE in the Allerdale area dealt with youths climbing on scaffolding. 

Officers caught the youths on the scaffolding in Workington over the weekend. 

A spokesperson said: "Yesterday evening two youths were spoken with after being seen climbing on scaffolding in Workington Town Centre, the youths were moved out of the area and letters will be sent home to parents. Climbing scaffolding for fun is not acceptable and no one wants broken bones for Christmas.

"Parents/guardians - please ensure that you know where children in your care are and what they are doing and help us to prevent anti-social behaviour."
