Police action after 100 youths gather in Doncaster car park, leaving glass and laughing gas as they flee

They fled as our officers arrived at 8pm on Saturday, leaving behind broken glass and empty canisters of nitrous oxide.

We will look at CCTV to try to identify people. If we find the organiser, they could be fined £10,000. Anyone there could be fined £200.

We would appeal to the public to take some responsibility, and urge parents to know where their children are.

It is the most significant such incident seen in Doncaster West, where people have mostly respected lockdown.

Mexborough has seen a strong police presence since the death of Lewis Williams last month.

The result has been a large number of arrests and warnings for possession of drugs in the town.

We cautioned a man on Simpson Place for possession of class A drugs on January 28; arrested two for possession of drugs after stopping a car on Harlington Road on January 30; cautioned a man on Elm Road for cannabis possession on January 31; and warned people over cannabis possession on Sarah Street on February 7, Schofield Street on February 11, and Herbert Street on February 16.
