CUMBRIA Police have been responding to reports of antisocial behaviour.
Officers patrolled the Distington area where this kind of activity had been reported.
In other parts of Copeland, like Cleator Moor and Whitehaven, Dispersal Orders have been issued in the past in attempts to tackle the issue.
A police spokesperson said: "Anti-social behaviour has been reported in the areas of Main Street and the underpass off Ennerdale View Distington, officers have conducted high-vis patrols this evening. Officers spoke to a small group of youths who were all very polite and caused no issues."
