A large group of youths in Happy Mount Park in Morecambe were inhaling gas from balloons and being verbally abusive to members of the public.

When police arrived numerous youths were seen inhaling from balloons and then ran from officers.

Police said a large cannister of Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) was found and there was also a strong smell of cannabis in a shelter near the bowling green where the youths were gathered.
