Youngsters reported to be riding bikes, tipping over tables and abusing staff at Newmarket library

Police are investigating two incidents of anti-social behaviour at Newmarket library when bikes were ridden inside the building and tables tipped over.

The inquiries follow reports of young people making a disturbance and verbally abusing staff with the early closure of the library .

Local PCSO Bill Butcher said: “This type of behaviour is unacceptable and unfair to both staff and other users of the service and the people doing this are certainly not representative of young people in the town. With the summer holidays almost here we hope parents will work with officers to prevent this type of behaviour recurring.”

The first incident took place on Saturday, July 15, between 10am and noon, when a group of youths rode around the Guineas Shopping Centre and the library.

The next day, between 12.45pm and 1pm, youngsters verbally abused staff at the library and refused to leave.

Anyone who has any information that could assist the investigations is asked to contact Suffolk Police, quoting crime references 37/41118/23 or 37/41302/23.
