HELSTON police are asking parents and carers to inform them of their children's whereabouts following reports of anti-social behaviour in a Cornish village.

The police are currently investigating reports of anti-social behaviour in the village of St Keverne, particularly around the area of St Keverne Parish Church where youths are said to be congregating, playing loud music, vaping and leaving rubbish.

The force shared a post on its Facebook page on August 11 asking parents to "help ensure" them of the whereabouts of their children, and who the children are associating with.
