ANGER AS HALLOWEEN YOBS CAUSE HAVOC IN TOWN

GANG OF 20 YOUTHS PELTED HOMES

ACTIONS of egg-throwing yobs proved to be no ‘yolk’ for upset householders across Nuneaton on Halloween night.

Homes in Camp Hill and in Stockingford were pelted with eggs in separate incidents from 5pm until almost 10pm on Halloween night.

Nuneaton Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) received a total of 19 calls to report anti-social behaviour last night and a handful of these related to eggs being thrown at houses.

A gang of up to 20 youths are believed to have pelted a home in Camp Hill at 6.43pm.

SNT members attended the scene but the group had fled, leaving smashed glass which was cleared up by the officers.

It is understood that names were passed on to officers and investigations are now underway.

Eggs were thrown at a man at McDonalds in Nuneaton although not formal complaints were made.

In Hillside eggs were thrown at a home and in Copper Beech Road eggs were thrown at homes by a gang of youth.

The final egg-related call came in at 9.45pm after eggs were thrown at the window of a home in Heath End Road.

Due to the expected increase in antisocial behaviour related calls, extra SNT officers were put on late duty across not only in Nuneaton but wider Warwickshire.

Over in Bedworth, members of the SNT stopped two youths in the town centre who had been throwing eggs. They were spoken to and taken home.

In a tweet from the Bedworth SNT account on Twitter, it read: “No eggcuse for that kind of behaviour.”
