RESIDENTS are asked to be vigilant in order to help police catch a group of teenagers who are damaging property in the Station Road area of Topsham.
Percy Giles, police community support officer for the town, said three young men had been identified as going around the Balmoral Gardens and Tappers Close neighbourhood, carrying out anti-social behaviour.
He said: "We have identified three young men who are going around climbing on walls and have also been seen climbing on cars."
Percy believes the teenagers are practicing free running - a pastime which has grown in popularity with youngsters in recent years.
