The first boy, aged 12, was detained on September 10 on suspicion of causing criminal damage and common assault. A 15-year-old male was arrested two days later on suspicion of criminal damage offences.
A dispersal order was implemented in the locality, which forbade groups from congregating in an area at the threat of arrest. Referring to the 11-year-old, Havant Police said: “This young person was interviewed in custody and has been bailed to attend court.”
They added: “As with our other recent arrests, he also has conditions not to attend the area. All three youths also have curfews and non-association conditions. We will continue to deal with those that affect our communities adversely and will be patrolling the area when on duty.”
