'We know who you are and we will be visiting your parents': Police warn 'knock and run' children in Harborough district village

Police are trying to track down children who have been kicking people’s doors in a Harborough district village before running away.

Youngsters aged from about 11-13 have been regularly annoying fed-up residents in Scraptoft on the northern edge of the district, said Harborough police.

An householder has now reacted quickly enough to take pictures of the suspects before tipping off police.

And officers have warned that they will be knocking on doors themselves to talk to the culprits’ parents and families after they have identified them.

“Our caller has managed to get photos. When we identify who they are, where they live - parents, guardians we will be calling,” said police.
