The PSNI was called to Páirc Nua Chollann after reports of youths throwing stones at cars
Youth workers have said that recent antisocial behaviour in the Colin area of West Belfast is a result of cuts to funding for youth providers.
"Their behaviour is completely unjustified and the police need to be more proactive. As youth providers, we attended the park when we heard what was happening and when we got there, there was about 30 young people enjoying the equipment."If we want to tackle incidents like this then we need to have a strategy in place. We are being faced with funding cuts and have no detached youth workers in the voluntary sector within the Colin area because we don't have the funding.
"I will do all I can to get additional resources into this particular area and try to bring this to a stop."
