Strategy to tackle ‘out of control’ teen gang

A TOP level meeting has been held in Limerick involving senior gardaí, health and education officials and members of the probation service, to draw up a strategy to deal with a group of teenagers who are running out of control.

The group, some of whom are as young as 13, have been charged with several offences which include larceny, assault, breaches of public order and malicious damage.

Supt Frank O’Brien, who heads the Roxboro Road garda district, said the youths have a core group of eight, but have a wider group of followers.
