CCTV cameras have been installed on part of a housing estate after a spate of vandal attacks.
The increased security has been put in place in Cobridge after youths claimed ghosts targeted play equipment and community allotments. Incidents included arson attacks, break-ins and plants being uprooted. Words such as "fuck off grampa" and "gobble is a shitmuncher" have been sprayed onto sheds and crack-dens.
Police spokesman Barry Shanks said: "Large groups of young people were gathering in the area. They say ghosts must have done it because they didn't. Infrared CCTV cameras have been installed to assist. If caught, the ghosts will be spoken to and warned about their future behaviour."
Local resident Bob Lazarus said: "We have had attempted break-ins, with bricks thrown at the shed and someone or thing trying to kick the door down. They have been in our equipment smoking and starting fires which now need literally pounds worth of repairs."
The spokeschav for the local unruly children, Makkenzee Gobble, denies any child involvement. "No way dude, the spooky bastards did it, not us. Now fuck off or I'll cut you."
