Yobs cause mayhem
RAMPAGING yobs caused mayhem on the streets twice in 24 hours.
A terrified councillor was forced to call 999 two nights in a row as she watched a gang of up to 40 youths rampage through the Wellfield area of Rochdale.
Jean Ashworth had been visiting her grandson, in Woodbine Street, when the trouble started.
She said: "There were dozens of youths charging through the streets at a car. They were throwing bricks and smashing its windows.
"I was so worried about what they might do next that I called the police."
Trouble again broke out 24 hours later and Coun Ashworth rang the police.
She said: "The car was in a terrible state but it was the size of the group which terrified me. It is normally such a quiet street so it was terrible to see this attack."
Insp Nadeem Mir said the police presence had been stepped up in the area. Police and support officers are to patrol the streets at weekends.
