Hide AdA police spokesperson said: “This is unacceptable behaviour and extremely dangerous.
“The site has CCTV and any offenders identified will be passed on to us.
“We ask parents from the surrounding villages to speak with the children about their conduct if going out alone.
“Although there is a public footpath through the site, it is still a working environment and poses potential dangers to unsupervised youths.”
